Description
New York's sanitation workers broke a state law to strike in 1968, and with every driver out at once they won their raise. An anesthesiologist earns more than $350,000 while a nursing assistant earns about $42,000, and ASML keeps 29 cents of each dollar while Kroger keeps under 2. What becomes valuable as AI does more of our work?
