"Stiglitz has spent his career watching capitalism fail the people it was supposed to serve. He’s studied financial crises, globalization’s broken promises, and the slow hollowing out of the American middle-class. Now, at 83, he is watching the next chapter unfold in real time—and he is not optimistic."
Nobel laureate Joe Stiglitz says not only can AI take your job, it’ll make the ‘tech bro’ class richer while doing so

"The most dramatic drops happened in cities on the country’s two coasts. On the West Coast, Victoria had the country’s lowest fertility rate, at 0.82. (Unlike birth rates, fertility rates account for the age structure of a population – in the case of Victoria, taking into account the older average age.) And in Vancouver, the fertility rate dropped from 1.09 in 2020 to 0.94.
It’s likely no coincidence, said Prof. Kerr, that these are also cities where the cost of living is especially high. It’s a region, he said, where 'the cost of housing has risen dramatically, where we have concerns around the precarious working conditions for young people, we have a lot of young adults trying to establish themselves' – all of that, often, before having kids."
In Canada’s major cities, fertility rates are in steep decline. What happened?

Western Canadian Select human. Prairie boy (he/him) with an unfortunate dislike of toxic masculinity and rugged individuality. Grim as that may sound, humour keeps me alive. Tech and/or tech adjacent. Politics matter. Inveterate liker of toots. Toots do not necessarily constitute strong endorsement. "It doesn't matter what Canada does for emissions" = instablock. Rude/edgelord replies = instablock. The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism. # StarTrekForLife # IDIC
