Humans have always experienced paradigm change from the days when hunter/gatherers were introduced to organized farming, until today where we are on the precipice of an AI explosion.

And it appears that once AI gets beyond these embryonic stages, each successive massive change could be reduced to declining variances of nano seconds.
The Question:

Politicians have forgotten that they also live in the People's country.
There is always hope especially when love abounds.
Here's how fast AI may be coming at you. In a study that shows the number days it took popular apps to reach 100 million users we see this: Netflix took 3,500 days, Twitter about 1,850, Spotify and Facebook. ChatGPT hit 100 million in 60 days (about 2 months).
There is something calming about Easter Week.
The Answer:
Everybody knows it was Joseph of Aramathea. Bonus: Some jobs listed but in no order are Personal Financial Advisors, Interpreters and Translators, Fast Food and Counter Workers, Reporters and Journalists, Tractor-Trailer Drivers, Tax Preparers, Computer Programmers and Lawyers.
