A good time for a reminder from Debbie Downer…
We are living in a golden era now. United NEWHIRE Captain assignments anyone?
This will not last forever and when the record player screeches to a halt, or worse, starts playing backwards (Satan is that you?) lots of people will be caught off guard. Much less unpleasant during a black swan if you have been planning for the eventuality.
Make hay while you can. Enjoy the ride. Save some $.
And no, I’m no fun at parties 😬

People will need food, shelter and clothing. A wise person would have investments reflecting that.

that's exactly what all the super rich have done. They literally have self sufficient islands that can support them for decades as the apocalypse unfold around the word.

For the bottom end of the 1% ers like us that are just looking to ride out the AI take over of our trade, a portfolio of investments that covers food, shelter and clothing will provide a transition. You don't have to wear tinfoil to understand the value of boring stuff like an emergency fund, some passive income and a fall back skill.
I heard the last AE of 2023 is coming out in a few weeks.

Yep, we're headed the way of the wheelwright, farrier and blacksmith. In a generation or two you can add airline pilot, helmsman and truck driver to the list, but not before a 2014 hire becomes WBA.
Replacing a $15/hour cashier is aiming low, imagine the financial gains for a company that can replace $300/hour labor. What professions are you recommending to your children?

Looks like "Handyman" has a very promising future.
