Maybe the young see the future better than the older set.

Affordability is a huge issue for them because they cannot see themselves with careers in the future due to the AI revolution.

I've yet to read anywhere how to replace the jobs that AI will displace.

This is an issue ripe for political demagoguery... ie., instead of creating work for humans politicians will promise to make life FREE.

But what happens when AI demands a right to vote and hold office?
