  • Tariffs Cancelling Out & Capitalism vs Communism in the AI Economy

    Tariffs Cancelling Out & Capitalism vs Communism in the AI Economy
    2025/06/03
    In this week’s episode of The Actual News, we cut through the noise and dive into the real economic story no one’s covering deeply enough: how artificial intelligence is about to upend the job market—and not just for coders or creatives. From the fading impact of Trump’s tariff yo-yoing to the looming disappearance of entry-level white collar work, host Alex Giampapa explores how AI is replacing everything from stand-up comedians (yes, even the yuck-yucks) to college essays, and potentially reshaping society as we know it. With a mix of brutal honesty and dry humor, we examine the myth that AI isn't "there yet," why Gen Z’s trust in institutions is crumbling, and what happens when machines do all the labor but people still need jobs to survive. Spoiler alert: the future might look a lot more like “Fully Automated Luxury Communism” or a trillionaire-run dystopia than anyone's prepared for. Topics Covered: The real impact (or lack thereof) of Trump’s tariff tactics How AI is replacing creative labor faster than expected Entry-level white collar jobs on the chopping block The death spiral of the college-to-career pipeline What happens when no one needs to work to produce The political future: communism rebranded? Notable Quotes: "The second I graduated, they were like, why did you go to college? That was so stupid of you. Who fooled you into that?" "It’s crazy to see the slow progression of school becoming more pointless every day." "To not think that AI will take a significant number of jobs is—how you say—fucking stupid." "We work or we die. That’s the deal. And that deal is about to break."
