What jobs is AI currently replacing, at tens of thousands per month?
Entry-level and “white-collar roles seen as vulnerable to AI-driven automation, rather than those on shop or factory floors.”

We’ve talked about so-called “Autumn leaves” haven’t we?
I’m very disappointed that you are dropping leaves. Very.
Attitude and choices, right? I expected better.
If this sort of thing continues… well, we will need to have a very frank discussion.
Be better maples.
OK?

Children in religious homes/schools/bubbles realize they are being lied to: Santa Claus, God, Easter Bunny, Jesus, Tooth Fairy,.
They adopt lying as way of life.
And it pays off: status, wealth, control, power.

a more readable figure of Port of Los Angeles containers data.
The growing gap between falling exports and rising imports goes back to the 1990s.
The steady decline in exports is a new trend that started after Trump’s first term (2016-2020).
Probably from outsourcing manufacturing.
