What role does AI have with the labor market?

So I think there's just a lot of questions and a lot of uncertainty right now.

Well, I mean, it's interesting because the companies are starting to take out a lot of debt.

And so once you start taking out debt, that's when I think a lot of people start to get worried because debt is very, very serious.

If you're unable to pay back debt, then all the dominoes start tipping.

Yeah, these are all the hard ones.

I mean, the national debt, this has been a problem forever.

And the United States is very lucky because we're able to run these, have a huge debt load.

And other countries will still choose to invest with us, buy treasuries.

But that piece that I wrote in the New York Times opinion section was about how the U.S.

debt can be weaponized against it.

So the U.S.

is very reliant on other countries to continue to buy up U.S.

treasuries, continuing to invest with the U.S., and some of the decisions that the U.S.

has made with entering a war or military event or whatever they're calling it, other countries are noticing that and could choose not to buy the treasuries, and then it creates this big vacuum in terms of how the U.S.

actually finances itself.

Yeah, I mean, the dollar is, a lot of people have been worried about it for a while, but I think what we're seeing is people trying to turn to alternatives.

So China has created their own alternatives to the dollar.

Their central bank is heavily investing and buying up a lot of gold to create some proxy to the dollar there.

I think, again, the US is very lucky and it's very privileged and the dollar is so intertwined with all the financial systems that it'd be very hard to untangle it
