Just a note on jobs.
Truck drivers account for almost 6% of the full-time jobs in the United States, and over 40% of truck drivers are minorities.
A large majority of these jobs will be eliminated in the near future by self-driving trucks. There are already self-driving trucks on US highways and the technology is getting better at a very rapid pace. It will save businesses billions of dollars because they will be able to keep the trucks on the road 24 hours a day.
A large majority of cashiers will also be replaced in the near future. This will also increase corporate profits.
So there will need to be major adjustments to the labor market and government programs to keep people working. Corporations will keep making more and more money, but at some point they will lose consumers if there are no ways for people to make money.
