    @Kilamangaro6 months ago From Southern Africa. Having to witness unemployment rates increase in America is so surreal. It is definitely a good idea to learn a new trait or profession, preferably one that will increase your odds of employability in the 5th industrial revolution or generating your own wealth and produce. You'll never be too old to change careers. Learning is everlasting... ... 11

    @antunesiaharris325 months ago I am 50 for the second time. In my mid-twenties folks in my circle did a variety of jobs, many were at the start of what has become great careers. Many of the young people in my life are in jobs without health insurance, they are classified as independent contractors, many are in the service industry and work for tips. While others are drowning in student loan debt. It's discouraging. ... 2

They truly are the best. They are generally pretty in line with my own political views, and this one in particular I let them get through the contextual information I need for the thing they're talking about, and then they're so, so good at then pivoting and being like, 'okay now here's why that's **** up actually' lol. ... 67

    @ceofounder4 years ago This documentary was jarring, thought provoking and humbling!
    The segment on the autonomous trucking industry and the profile on that hardworking husband(truck driver) and wife was very sobering.
    The segment on the auto workers and closed down factories/warehouses in Saginaw, Michigan was numbingly sad!
    I respect the president of that autoworkers union that was profiled.
    With all due respect; the expresidential candidate:
    Mr. Andrew Yang has been warning everyone of this since last year!
    I really believe that this piece unanimously deserves the "Peabody" award and also the "Edward R. Murrow" award for journalistic excellence!
    The gentleman and scholar who narrated this documentary has one of the most profound and captivating voices ever!
    Thank you so much for this educational video upload.
