Maybe those who figured they were covered, and could ignore it all, will start to wake up. Not just that Gen X coder losing their jobs anymore.

Wait till all those Door Dash and Uber jobs we’ve been counting in reports go away when no one can pay $10 or $20 extra for delivery.

Once RMD’s and dividends start to suffer, maybe it will start to matter.
