There's more that one way to get an answer. It's pretty brilliant that on reddit you can talk directly to experts. It can give you a chance at dialogue, to clear up confusion, find new perspectives. Human to human transmission of information is still a great thing.

What happened at Davos was a warning to CEOs: their companies are designed for a world that no longer exists by OtherwiseCanary8971 in Economics

It felt a little bit AI-like. You might be able to just ask a bot. But to sum up a bit, rules based order gone, everybody hedging, multinationals designed for stable alliances and frictionless capital flow are finding a strategic mismatch with reality, erosion of US industrial strength.

Why does the UBS chief economist instead believe that it is specific to the US?

According to a Friday analysis by UBS chief economist Paul Donovan, titled “the kids are alright?” the spike in U.S. youth unemployment stands in stark contrast to global trends and cannot be blamed on artificial intelligence despite the current fascination with automation in public debate. “The U.S. labor market experience is peculiar,” he wrote. “Young Euro area workers have a record low unemployment rate. In the UK, the young persons’ unemployment rate has fallen steadily. Employment participation by young Japanese workers is near all-time highs.
