Yeah hopefully! I do worry it would be harder to get a chance if I started today. Then again, we've survived an industrial revolution before

So I'm personally 2 or 3 times more productive, which is good. However, the number of jobs needed to deliver my output is down significantly - which is particularly an issue for young people looking for a break in the industry

Sure. I work in digital marketing, in a very broad role in which I use Co-pilot to help speed up a lot of the tasks I deliver. 5 years ago, I would've probably needed 1, maybe even 2 junior executives to support the amount of work I can do alone now

Different points. I'm much better at my job now thanks to AI, but it's also removed the need for a lot of junior roles around me

Yeah, the cost of living crisis is dragging on so long people just stopped spending, which is terrible for the economy. Anyone in government who thinks this is a positive poll result is utterly deluded

Make a world people aren't terrified to bring new lives into, and where young people aren't constantly treated as a political underclass?

This level of wealth inequality and desperate poverty has also failed to work out for the very rich, many times throughout history. Redistribution is the peaceful option, which is still on offer. It would be wise to accept that offer

Reality will always hit home eventually. Politicians, including this government, have spent years pretending to be on the side of working people while letting the cost of all essentials skyrocket. Capitalism can't survive if the spending class is a tiny minority, and the majority live in poverty.

They're not doing enough to address the immediate concerns of the cost of living crisis. Little else matters right now - and being more competent than clowns is wildly insufficient in this moment

Such a good analogy. Like we're all meant to cheer if it's +0.1, and mourn if it's-0.1 😂😂

The way the media loudly hold up this single figure once a month, with no context, as an indicator of how the economy is doing is utterly embarrassing

That's fine. You don't sell stock, or a product like a retailer. You hoard a vital and scarce resource, which everyone needs. So on that basis, I don't think you should be compared to other businesses - and you should be taxed much more aggressively in my opinion

Billionaires, millionaires, landlords, other excessive passive income sources taxed at a lower rate than work.
