@paulkrugman Thanks Paul. The productivity growth stat could be a result of the fact that many workers are being pushed into - or stuck in - low productivity sectors as a means of survival. It could also be a lagging indicator. As you know it’s hard to pack every stat into an Op-Ed.
@paulkrugman It’s hard to see why you are so dismissive. McKinsey, MIT, BCG, Oxford, the Obama White House, the World Bank and just about every other org who has looked at this is deeply concerned about automation. They see the same stats you and I do.
@paulkrugman Instead of citing a backward-looking stat why not get out and visit with the technologists, labor leaders, factory workers, educators, retail workers, truckers, Amazon facility workers and others who are experiencing this day-to-day? You might have a different perspective.
@paulkrugman If you’d like to sit down and have a debate on this I would enjoy it. We could livestream it and let people decide for themselves. This is one of the great issues of our time and it deserves careful consideration. 👍
