Vice President JD Vance: No One Saw This Coming, The Ceasefire Is Real!
"I don't see mass unemployment as the most likely consequence. I think people will become more productive. But what did happen? Rich people got way richer. And that led to, in Europe, fascism and communism. If you make rich people way richer, you are going to have significant problems. The president likes that idea too. He likes that idea."
Vice President Vance rejected predictions of AI-driven mass unemployment, instead warning that AI will dramatically accelerate wealth inequality similar to the Industrial Revolution, which sparked fascism and communism in Europe. He revealed Trump supports the idea of government ownership stakes in major AI companies as a predistribution mechanism, calling Trump a radical pragmatist unconcerned with traditional Republican ideology.
