RE: A quick glimpse to the next "New Normalcy"

Well, we have children in their late 20's early 30's and grandchildren under 10. The concern for us is mostly what sort of world they will have to live in.

Whereas there's little doubt that some new jobs will be created in "new" fields, the problem I have with that whole "jobs survey" is that it tries to project the future based on past/present projection methodology. To me, the false assumption is that we're actually going to retrain humans to do these "new jobs" AI is already evolved a long way towards doing. I think it more likely that the job market might see 85 million "old" jobs vanish, but I doubt more than maybe 40-50 million of these new jobs will actually be filled by humans, leaving 35 million+ in a permanent state of "Sorry, but you're simply not NEEDED anywhere." And that's through no fault of their own. Hence the legendary "arts and creativity based" economy of previous futurists may end up being a forced reality because unless people have some kind of currency, they can't actually buy the goods and services provided by the AI and automation.

Then the "wrinkle in the equation" becomes shifting away from the notion of "corporate profits" (and greed!) for the simple reason that simply hoarding corporate profits as "investments" is ultimately unsustainable.
