Our local drivers say volume is way down and fewer trucks running. Extreme grocery prices and gasoline price gouging takes about every dime to live these days, nothing left for spending. Does not look good.
Leaning on AI and automated hubs to replace workers without first making sure system cannot be hacked by overseas criminals is risky. These days not even our Gov. can stop it. Look at the news articles on our most important Departments--intruded upon daily. Changing 40% to automation ? Why not 5% and slowly as it proves safe move up. Very sorry for anyone who loses their job.
