Trump does not understand simple #business #economics. He wants to reduce the price of #oil to $50 a barrel. Well, OK.
To achieve that, he wants oil companies to invest untold billions in

U.S. Republicans are racketeers. Large corporations pay this protection racket to gather power, impoverish then enslave everybody else.

"Man, I now have to pay taxes on birth control things? Let me save money by not using any and just have some babies instead, which are not expensive at all." 🙄

Content warning: AI Economics
A news-report about the AI economy that fell through a time tunnel from two years in the future.
We probably could have figured this out sooner if we just asked how much money machines spend on discretionary goods. (Hint: it’s zero.)
AI capabilities improved, companies needed fewer workers, white collar layoffs increased, displaced workers spent less, margin pressure pushed firms to invest more in AI, AI capabilities improved…
It was a negative feedback loop with no natural brake
.
Fake-news, obviously. It's from the future. Just a story. A scenario. Interesting possible way the bubble could pop even if the claimed efficiency gains are real.

Some people (mostly in movies) would rather return to prison because "free" boarding and lodging, but a student not clearing the first year of a 4-year university course and staying put for free boarding and lodging on campus?
