That used to be someone’s job. Technology and wages are going to meet at some point. When your employer can replace you with a machine they will.

Fighting 8.5% inflation (more like 35%) with a 1% Fed funds interest rate is like stopping a forest fire with a bucket of water. Folks prepare accordingly. Make investment in other not to depend on the government for funds

Japan seems like the real 2022.
I used to think that Dubai was space-age until I learned that none of those fancy buildings have any sewage system so all the poop has to be taken away by truck. No offense to anyone who lives in Dubai.
