I feel like we will soon be getting news reports from AI created people. Why do we need weather people or sports reports from real people?

I don't know about the country as a whole but the alcohol industry on the west coast is in decline because of Gen Z being being a boring generation.
perhaps more than Gen Z + uses different substances...without the hangover.

I keep thinking there's no way the amount of TexMex places that keep opening up can be sustained.
People of Shreveport have been saying this for 20 years and yet new one's pop up weekly it seems.

Not that secretly, but the natural diamond industry is facing some pretty major headwinds that I wasn't aware of until doing some light reading lately.
If any industry can market their way out of it they can. A few years ago chocolate diamonds were trending. Chocolate diamonds are just industrial diamonds they slapped a fancy label on.

higher education
This! And it’s not even close. They have priced themselves out of the market and have been and are being helped to the grave by the student loan rip off industry!
It’s just not worth it !

No, the auto parts industry is not on the verge of collapsing.
Some companies might fail, but every vehicle on the road needs parts.
How do you figure they are on the verge of collapsing?
The establishment auto parts industry is struggling with the internet taking a big chunk of their sales. EBAY Motors, Amazon, Rock Auto, etc., are killing them.

Useless degrees like philosophy and business management? Yes but higher education is still worth it for the medical field, education, and engineering

That's just the storefronts that are dying.
The industry itself is likely fine.
Like saying movies are dying because Blockbuster shite down

RV sales
Not sure how this industry works. Every RV dealer seems to have tens of millions of dollars in RVs on their lots. Inventory carrying costs must be incredible.
Don’t see this being sustainable but I thought that 10 years ago.

I'm not sure I'm going to get my wisdom teeth removed by Jason who graduated from Ville Platte High then went straight to watching YouTube videos on teeth removals and asked Google AI a bunch of questions.
Though I do agree there's has to be some sort of correction on the current Higher Ed costs and the number of brick and mortar universities. The ROI just isn't there to treat all majors the same tuition wise.

Radio shows with DJs … with streaming services like Spotify , nobody wants to hear a half educated DJ who still lives at home mumble about nothing

Yes, that's what I said. I think we are on the same page.
Obviously people need auto parts. But rather than go to Napa, or the dealership, people are buying from Ebay Motors or Amazon.

If ICE keeps it up, we'll have to mow our own yards, cook our own hamburgers, and re-roof our own homes.

This makes the most sense but it will never happen. ROI for a law degree or becoming a Doctor is there. MAYBE engineering, but it’s close. But all most every other degree given college cost these days is worthless.

Cigarette companies.

Ah, yes. Auto parts stores.
Still see them popping up so there is still some demand. The lack of quality and counter service is likely what has killed their business

the alcohol industry
We saw a glut of brew-pubs and micro-breweries opening up between 2010 and 2020, but now we see a number closing / consolidating.
Market got saturated combined with overall decline of drinking.
