Historical trends is another kind of trap, because employment used to mean something different compared to the necessity an income has become today. For most of history anybody could just claim land. You literally just said "Mine!&quot

X to doubt. Nobody is using anything from Anthropic lol. OpenAI and Anthropic can barely keep up with text-to-text and have basically given up on everything else. Everybody uses Gemini for text because it's better with the web and far

It's a regular loading state. Keep slowly copying other people's ideas without a clue why you are doing it. Keep losing Fortnite to Roblox and random indie devs. You think copying another person is going to help you? Lol

Lore is copying us with "git for gamedev" messaging, and their entire brand. Epic interviewed me asking all sorts of questions about my customers and use cases. "Pagan" "Lore" lol Our site used to say "Fol

What if a legislator got a job at, say, Uber for $9 million a year and suddenly all their politics begin to magically align with their employer? It seems like you want the opposite right - as little meddling with private/govt as possib

The majority of people (>50%) do not have an income at all in the United States. Only ~160 million of America's ~340 million had a job last year (raw figures). While places like China have over 90% home ownership and very high emplo

Unemployment metric is not "number of lazy people" lol I am providing the raw number of human beings who live in America do not work - which is the majority. Take away children and elderly and it's still an absurdly high numb

72.9 million - https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2... I also said "160M" instead of "168.3 million" for simplicity. 10/10 nitpick

Agree with you - what % is not employable? About 75M people. So it's still over 30% unemployment not a laughably absurd ~4%

That isn't what raw figures means though but yeah I agree mostly

My definition of "raw" is literally employed vs not employed. That's as raw as it gets. Minimum employment age varies. Even if you don't count all 50M who are under 16 it would still be like 35% or higher unemployment.

According to a black box "bureau". I provided figures. Even if you say some % is not employable - what %? Let's talk facts

Ask HN: If 160M Americans are employed, what's the unemployment rate?
