Technology does NOT create new jobs!

2 days ago | daveshap.substack.com | David Shapiro

“Technology always creates new jobs!” No, it does not.

Furthermore, there is now ample evidence that technology broadly (and automation specifically) has been eating into the demand for human labor, causing commensurate drop in wages as well as overall employment.
AI will only become more polarizing from here

When Barack Obama is using his platform to raise awareness of the disruptive power of AI, you know it’s gone mainstream. MSNBC has also featured a “Morning Joe” episode talking about job disruption from AI. I’ve noticed that AI reactions tend to cluster into a few camps. The skeptics tend to focus on numerical evidence, or a lack thereof.
David Shapiro: True execution essential for new climate impact fee

6 days ago | staradvertiser.com | David Shapiro

I’m always leery of actions promoted by Hawaii political leaders as “the first in the nation.”It could be because they’re brilliantly out in front (stop that laughing). Or it could be just a bad idea that appealed to nobody else. It can go either way with Hawaii’s new “green fee” passed by this year’s Legislature and signed last week by Gov. Josh Green to tap tourists for climate impact. As is often true of legislative good intentions, it’s all about the delivery.

(BPT) - By David S. Shapiro, MD, MHCM, FACSIn trauma care, we often say the only thing more tragic than death itself is a death that could have been prevented. As a trauma surgeon, I think about this often when treating patients with severe bleeding. Not all traumatic injuries are survivable, but thousands of lives can be saved each year with better access to trauma care — especially by quickly controlling bleeding at the scene of the injury.
What are the "Ten Commandments" of Post-Labor Economics?

1 week ago | daveshap.substack.com | David Shapiro

While there’s no official “Constitution of Neoliberalism” you can generally refine it down to several axioms such as “anything outside the market should be brought into the market.” These principles serve as cardinal directions for anyone who wants to adhere to the Neoliberal framework. As the body of work around Post-Labor Economics grows, the mindshare has started broadening. The braintrust of PLE has produced the below gem.

David Shapiro: Time to fight back against loud gaslighting on vaccines

1 week ago | staradvertiser.com | David Shapiro

I had the misfortune to injure myself at the height of COVID-19 and spend three months in a senior nursing facility for rehabilitation. It was before a vaccine was out and the last place you wanted to be, with news stories reporting high body counts in such facilities as seniors took the biggest pandemic hit. I was quarantined upon admission in a small room with four other newcomers. Ten days crammed together with patients most likely to have COVID-19.
