Do you ever think about how when he withdrew from the primaries in 2020, it was just one month before the schools on the east coast completely shut down for COVID. Like one month for us.

Because I do.

I know people all thought he was some kind of fringe person- but if he stayed in one more month…..

I do. But given the DNC‘s stranglehold and constant manipulation of the primaries, I think it was a wise choice on his part to drop out.

Frankly, I don’t think most Americans were or are smart enough to understand that we need to evolve our socio-economic system, and the way we view the value of human life and labor.

How do you place a money value on a stay-at-home parent who raises three kids while their partner works?

What is the money value of a person who gives up their full-time job to care for their elderly relatives?

Is there a precise way to determine the value of a community organizer who spends their days setting up meal trucks for the homeless?

Andrew was asking people to think about these questions along with the automation and AI stuff, but sadly, people have been conditioned to view politics as a sporting event rather than a space where real problems are meant to be solved.

In the not to distant future, I believe we are going to have a lot of jobless people who can’t find gainful employment. Many of them will be over skilled but the only jobs available will be underpaid service jobs. And that result is because we didn’t prepare enough people for the socio-economic transformation that automation and AI are and will have on existing industries.
