We learned in Economics in school that the global economy tended to have a catastrophic failure every 17 years. However, 1997 "Asian Flu" to 2008 "Global Meltdown" bucked this trend.

I still can't get my head around the "economics of the future"....

Suppose 20 million people loose their jobs over 10 to 15 years. That's a hell of a lot of Income Tax that's lost. Will the tax take from the remaining workforce be able to provide this basic financial credit, plus housing (as I'm ...

Hence the argument that we can just all sit back and enjoy life once AI takes over but I reckon it will be absolute shit :lol:

Just looked at it again, the black car - I missed that. Overtaking, car appears, carnage ensues

I saw that yesterday and I know I'm not a biker but I haven't the slightest idea what was going on.

It appears like he's driving up close to the camera guy, maybe to intimidate but that might just be the distortion of the camera. Then, heh seems to veer off without a wobble to explain it.

Livestreamed? "Not to everyone" apparently, but still. That being said, comes to something where he's probably glad he's not getting a botched injection
