If you really feel that way there's plenty of options out there that would insulate you from your fears. I worry about the future too, but we can't stop progress. The pc and fax machine did in fact eliminated some jobs, Factory robots have been around for decades, and I have firsthand knowledge of the jobs they have eliminated. I adapted rather than cower in fear.

We are going to get 15% inflation.
I mentioned in a thread on Poli that something to watch for will be whenever the Fed starts softening its stance on 2% being the inflation target. If we start seeing more generalized positioning like "in the 2% range" or "2% to 2.5%)" or "around 2%," that's going to be admitting "we no longer have the ability to hold inflation back."
But keep on with the $2T+ deficits, Congress.

It's making layoffs more efficient which is causing hyperstagflation and oh by the way it will make it hyper expensive to get electricity to your house. I hope it was worth it
Hope what was worth what? Do you have any clue what you are babbling about?

I mean I'm working on stochastic computing so we can reduce power requirements going forwards so we delay driving off the cliff. I know nothing can stop the freight train of death but be careful what you wish for.

we are veering into the philosophical here, but...business processes are going to be automated. that has been the case since the industrial revolution, there is no stopping it and i guess you can describe that fact as the natural order of things. the step being taken now, for which we are so very early, is the introduction of machine minds to do the automating. in the most optimistic view, that will free humanity to explore the creative and abandon the monotonous. there will be mass casualties due to this, just like there were mass casualties at every societal revolution in the past. the order of things is agnostic, it does not and cannot protect the well being of every individual. it remains up to the individual to protect himself.
you are correct that the dumbing down we see now is troubling but that is surface level. there are far more people on this planet than is currently required and will be required in the future. again, the natural order of things. look to darwin for a peek at the future
back to the fed now

quote:Debt and deficit financing are the real dangers IMO. Unfortunately at these levels, inflating our way out of the debt (aka devaluing the debt) is no longer a player. Ironically now, cost of financing the debt, even more so than consumer protection, is the driver for inflation control.
But keep on with the $2T+ deficits, Congress.

You are making a strong argument that deflation could be on the way.

THE FED CUT RATES BY 25 BASIS POINTS
Key takeaways:
• Growth “moderate,” jobs slowing, inflation still elevated
• Dot plot: 1 cut in 2026, 1 cut in 2027, 0 cuts in 2028
• Vote split 9–3 (Miran wanted 50 bps & Goolsbee/Schmid wanted no cut)

Yes it was a made up number
So if they shift to 2.5% who would even care
Keep cutting Fed

Eventually everyone.
The federal government has spent decades building up reasons for why they say it needs to be no higher than 2%. If they move that number up, it's going to be only because they've realized they've lost control. Inflation with no regulating mechanism and an active money printer ends only one way:

Explain what you disagree with and why.
