Throbber gave up training with the millennials. Not even gonna try with Gen Z. Too old for that shit. Here's the task, here's the deadline, figure it out.
Give me some chain smoking 50 year old gal that looks like Roz from Monsters Inc. and we good.

Here’s the plan over the next five years to avoid communism (or at least it should be):
1. The H1B and tech tariff thing.
2. Get government out of student loans game completely. I’m even willing to talk about partial loan forgiveness provided we addressed the core issue which is the loans.
3. Get the government out of home loans. Both origination and buying up sketchy assets. Nothing would lower home prices more than this.
4. Lower or eliminate minimum wage for people under 25.
5. Allow people under 30 to pay a health insurance premium that is associated with their actual risk levels.

What the hell line of work are you in? Varied experiences in companies and these ladies are always absolutely awful at everything and terrible to work with.
6A. End the Fed.
6B. Privatize Social Security to individual investment accounts. And give me back my fucking money with a market rate of return for forced participation in the Ponzi scheme Roosevelt foisted upon us. Hell, just give me back the employee portion and we be good.
Making money.
If you want a building in Seattle you can't build it in India
So they brought the cheap labor here
Now it's leaving
H1B as Bob said is your white collar job killer. Policies matter
AI can't swing a hammer but it can render a plan. Lower level white collar shit can be replaced
There is no easy route to success. Even @haie had to work his ass off.
The covid era work from home while posting on reddit days are gone.
My dad grew up in the depression and fought in combat. Kind of a dick but some great life lessons
I'm trying to give back to the community

I love the 50 something grumpy AP clerk that is super organized, doesn’t mind constantly pestering people and is in the office at 6 am and is gone by 2:30.
You know the one. Throbber ain't got no time for chasing down expense reports and shit.
Lower level white collar shit will definitely be replaced. Be very very afraid if you're a bookkeeper or nut-turning accountant with no value add. Paralegals on deck to be replaced too. AI is coming fast.
6. Private equity out of residential real estate
Biggest market opportunity besides tech/accounting/law will be medicine. The research and data component of AI is apparent and I wouldn’t want to be a primary care physician or a radiologist in 10-15yrs.
Shit I wouldn’t want to be a primary care doctor now.
Get good at customer service, learn your domain, empathize with the customer, be willing to relocate, etc. pick up a hammer, take on whatever problem is thrown your way and try to meet deadlines. Make things easier for sales/support.
Others make this point better than me but two entire generations were given shitty advice and allowed to be entitled, and now that things really are shitty for them it's falling on deaf ears.
I appreciate your perspective. We need to bring manufacturing and technology back and guard it like it is Fort Knox. That will provide more white collar jobs.
And put shop back in high school curriculum.
Elon says surgeons will be obsolete within 5 years.
Thats not happening. Maybe a very specific surgical discipline will see their roles changed dramatically but we’ve had robots in the OR for 20 years. The clinician is not getting replaced in the OR any time soon.
