        I've never seen an organization that had been for a long time without major changes where many things were done as a matter of course that were completely unnecessary.

          It's just the beginning of what will be happening worldwide though from a different cause. Bill Gates says that the accounting and legal professions - along with many others will be decimated by AI. Even now, all of us could be graphic artists with a half dozen hours of experience with AI. I asked AI for help with tax questions. A lot of the make work things of government will be dealt with more efficiently via AI. Computer Sci majors are noting that the infinite well of need is drying up.

            If it happens to people who work in the government, it’s a tragedy. If it happens to people in the private sector, it’s a Tuesday.

            Education is extremely important.

              If companies can be started and become successful with very few employees, it will remove the need to ever go public, because employee expenses are the main expense for expanding companies. If the next generation of companies aren’t publicly traded, there will be no de facto public profit sharing. That’ll be bad.

                No matter. We'll all have UBI. I wonder how one gets more UBI than someone else. Mammals are nothing without hierarchies.

                    It's just more savings to pay for the wall.
                    You remember Trump(CF) back in 2016 saying he'd make Mexico pay for it?

                    He's the worst deal maker, but an excellent snake oil salesman.

                      We could use a lot less lawyers. For a lot of mundane legal work...A will, a succession, a deed transfer, etc., why do we need an attorney if we have AI?

                          As critical as I am of him, at least he has a deal he wants to make.

                            By deal you mean imposition?
