Companies: "we're maximizing efficiencies by fully leveraging AI to reduce salary overhead"

Also companies: "how come nobody is buying our stuff anymore?"

Can't believe younger generations are in considerate enough to drag down stocks by being unemployed

Radio was a 1920s analogue to the internet, spurring a race to invest in RCA and other technology companies more broadly, with companies such as General Electric, Dupont, Maytag, Chrysler and GM more than tripling between 1926 and 1929. The enthusiasm for the new technology was justified but premature, given that the network required a significant installed base of radios as well as broadcast networks and advertising to become commercially viable.

Bubbles have a variable lifespan, with the South Sea bubble blowing itself out in seven months while the dot-com bubble took five years to pop.

The question on everyone's lips: how long until the AI bubble, arguably the biggest bubble of all, does the same?

The ADL basically created a target list of Conservatives with their “Glossary of Extremism and Hate.”

Anyone person or group who didn’t align with the left’s views got put on there and smeared as an extremist.

Studying the sociological factors that discourage people in England from having children. Some are complex long-term interactions and chains of repercussions. I am convinced it is a good thing that people have fewer children now, because a smaller population in 20 or 40 years will make the climate crisis at that time less acute. (It is bizarre to see society worry about a shortage of births

I always thought the word "smith" was inextricably connected with metalwork, but it comes from the Proto-Germanic word smiþaz, meaning a craftsman or skilled worker.
So "wordsmith" might not be so figurative after all.
Just think of all the variants we're missing out on: yarnsmiths, numbersmiths, codesmiths, plantsmiths, claysmiths, clothesmiths...

Gen-x is too busy latchkeying

I know we have to wrestle power away from boomers but man I don't know if Millennials should be in charge

I want to believe, but I'm still quite skeptical. Not quite "I'll eat my hat" but maybe I'll like eat a loose thread or two.
