Delta has a long-term strategy to boost its profitability by moving away from set fares and toward individualized pricing using AI. The pilot program, which uses AI for 3% of fares, has so far been “amazingly favorable,” the airline said. Privacy advocates fear this will lead to price-gouging, with one consumer advocate comparing the tactic to “hacking our brains.”

I know that as of 2024, its about 10 to 15% of Americans with a negative net worth.

More debt than savings/investments.

So... thats your floor for literal debt slaves.

But uh, hah hah HAH,... the housing market is now crashing.

And the vast majority of Americans have a their house as their largest... investment/debt liability.

So... yeah. Probably gonna be heading closer to 50%.

Oh right, and then also every one behind on their student loans is now getting sent to collections, grace period over...

Yeah its all fucked, so fucked I don't even think anyone has a holistic view of all the precise data, at this point.
