How Oil Price Shocks Impact the Market & AI Isn’t Killing Jobs—It’s Burning Us Out
As we face one of the largest oil supply disruptions in history, Wes Moss explores how geopolitical shocks in the Middle East impact your wallet and the stock market, while reinforcing why long-term longevity beats market timing every time. Also, a new crisis is emerging in the workplace – AI-driven burnout. Contrary to fears of job loss, recent data across 443 million work hours suggests that AI tools are actually expanding our workdays and increasing weekend labor. Wes discusses why the real risk of the tech revolution isn't a lack of work, but rather the challenge of balancing an "always-on" culture where every task is now achievable.
