With ongoing layoffs and waves of “AI-driven displacement,” a job search can start to feel futile, and many believe the pace will only accelerate. I find myself increasingly concerned about the job market, the political climate, and what retirement might realistically look like anymore. Are we witnessing a temporary (2026) disruption or the start of a fundamentally different career landscape?

That's a question a lot of us are obsessing over. I want to believe what's happening is just some kind of blip and things will get back to normal. When you consider all the chaos and poor decisions being made, it's difficult to feel great about things. I mean, we've heard about the Persian Gulf and how important it is for decades, and tonight there are oil tankers burning in it. It sure feels like things are going to hell in a hurry.

I think it is only a temporary disruption. I really don't think that AI is going to take all of our jobs. I think people are just stressing about it way more than they need to be.
