The "Jobless Boom" Is Here

Jesus guys. This was not an attack. For the record I think leftist policies are exactly the worst thing for the job market pretty much across the board and when I had the wonderful joy of graduating college in 2008 and trying to make it in LA I had to get by on temp work with LA County and the people collecting paychecks there was some of the most ridiculous shit I have ever seen and because of leftist thought and policies they would never hire me. I don't think more government workers is an answer.

My family business was construction so I'm well aware of everything that goes along with everything construction. One of the reasons there are always opportunities is because it's a hard ass business the vast vast majority of people aren't cut out for, especially in 2026.

It seems like everything points to white collar jobs being a massively shrinking field and that's going to/has create tens of millions of people who aren't going to work in a factory/oil field/construction site for a lot of reasons. The answer could be that they just fade away, figure out how to get by, kill themselves, etc but if you want those people avoid voting blue, what is being communicated to them?

My wife works for Home Depot Corporate. Two weeks ago they laid off 800 people in Atlanta. 423 of them were IT.

They have already started the transformation.

Tyler Perry was going to expand his studio South of Atlanta by a couple hundred million in new construction. His management team met with an AI company who showed them that physical studios were a thing of the past. He scrapped the plans immediately.

This AI thing is going to hurt a lot of people in the short term. I am no expert but I am filled with common sense. AI is not a good thing.

I am bored in retirement so I thought I would get a couple day a week job at a private golf course as a golf bag handler. You make about $100 a day in tips and get free golf at this exclusive club. They required a resume. My wife showed me how to use AI to update and generate my resume. It took all of about 5 seconds and did a better job that I would have done. This is not a good thing. Students will not be doing their own work and have zero investment. I am sure some of you computer wizards will disagree and that is fine, but I see disaster ahead.

I hear you, but people said the same thing once about the invention of cameras

Yeah I look forward to getting hit up by Olga every fucking week about offshoring to Poland or Ukraine. It's awesome. Part of the problem with smaller outfits of experienced people is that training Gen Z Fucking. SUCKS. They take 0 criticism in any form and force you to give them a score instead which just makes it easier to get rid of them. It's a complicated problem but your suggestion would be an amazing start.
