@Forbes 41% of recent college grads were already working jobs that don't require a degree. Before AI. The degree wasn't the safety net people thought it was. AI just made it obvious.

@stlouisfed 53% of US renters spend more than 30% of their income on housing. 62% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, including people making six figures. Inflation hits different when there's no margin left.
