It's become clear that we aren't going to push forward the political solutions to this issue. Homes are going to get more expensive.

- ilaksh 3y agoNot sure if you noticed but the article said that time of adult children living with their parents in America is already here. What's required is to A) avoid WWIII and B) come up with a new structure for society as human labor is replaced by AI and robots. Those with power have shown that they have no interest or ability in solving these structural problems. In fact, society overall seems to have a Malthusian lack of respect for human life. We might need a lot of luck to survive another generation.

A non-world ending war in Asia would probably be good for the US' economy. I'm not advocating for that, it would be in no way worth the human costs, but war isn't necessarily bad for the economy.
