Social Democrats are the canary in the AI coal mine?
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?

Sigh
You don’t have a clue.
Stop reading headlines and learn a little about AI, or continue to be a luddite.
"Groceries are Americans' Top Affordability Concern"...thanks to DJT's Tariffs. Even Farmers and
MAGAs are feeling the pinch. Everything Trump touches turns negative...which puts a smile on Putin's face.

Groceries are a problem because of Biden's Wartime Deficits (120% of G.D.P.).
His administration's stupid printing of trillions of dollars caused this. You people own it.
Grocery inflation last year was 1.2%; this past year it has been 2.7%. That's the tariffs.

Good thing the US is a net food exporter. But what will the poor do w/o Toblerone & Bordeaux's?

2021 to 2024 averaged 5.5% annually.
Propagandists here on behalf of leftist groups aren't going to point at "Trump" for grocery prices. That dog won't hunt.
We've been through this a dozen times
Prices (predictably) boomed around the world after COVID. But somehow Biden's policies were responsible. OK fine.
Largest economy in the world, whose currency is used in half of global transactions drives the boat.
Shocking!
Post-COVID Inflation was Global, and Russia's attack on Ukraine kept it high...but the U.S. under
Biden beat most other developed nations in reducing inflation. Much of the improvement was due the Fed, but JB was able to bring down gasoline prices by selling a good chunk of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve and then replenishing those reserves at a lower price...i.e. a Savvy move on Biden's part.
Check out the chart of nations' Inflation levels in the attached PoliticFact article. As Chris noted...we've. been over this many times...you either paid no attention, or have memory issues.

You people created a financial disaster.

120% deficits.
COVID didn't require that.
It must really suck for every thought to be motivated by politics. (See jakers & Baron)

If you don't have a job nothing is affordable... unless the government provides for your needs.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" (German: Jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedürfnissen) is a slogan popularised by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Programme.
But what if no one's abilities are needed?
The affordability issue is mostly controlled by where you live.
The Democrat party is already running on free stuff as we saw in the NYC mayor race.
AI does not give a rat's ass where you live. It will replace everyone everywhere.

Won’t happen until 2112.
And the meek shall inherit the earth…
More correct translation: those with swords that keep them sheathed shall inherit the earth.
There is no virtue in meekness.
Not according to the prophet Geddy Lee.
2112 rules.
One man has spent a lot of time thinking about this...

This is not analogous to the "buggy whip" situation...

Not a lot of jobs making buggy whips.
A better example is street cleaners, which involved tens of thousands shoveling horse shit off the streets of NYC. every single day.
But AI threatens almost every job now performed by humans... except maybe stripers.
I'm not sure what might turn on a robot.
