Is America blessed or cursed by the AI boom? My conversation with Hans Nelson on why the US attracts builders, how the education and social-media gap leaves a low-agency group behind, what AI does to white-collar jobs, whether a transition plan can work, the case for trades and optimism, and why the next two years to 2028 matter.
