Just read this today. For the first time on record, gasoline-only cars fell below half of global new-vehicle sales in H1 2026, hitting 49% (down from 73% in 2021), as high oil prices accelerated the shift toward hybrids and EVs. asia.nikkei.com/business/aut…

More homes are hitting the market than at any point since 2000, yet 2026 is shaping up to be the worst year for existing home sales on record, per Yahoo Finance. Home sellers now outnumber buyers by 63%, the biggest gap since the post-2008 housing crash, and mortgage applications have fallen back to 1995 levels.

The AI impact won't be felt immediately through layoffs (existing jobs are sticky), but through a collapse in hiring (jobs that don't yet exist have no stickiness).

The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.
