My advice would be (if you're in it to make a living) to get out and move into finance.
I don't get it. Do you think developers will experience some AI related job losses and finance people will not?

And that’s related how? Choosing to have a kid (or a pet) is a choice, while race isn’t. Seems to me that’s a pretty major distinction.
Choosing to have a kid is a choice of the parents, not the child. You're forgetting the child is also a person, one as deserving of the same civil rights as anyone else, at least where we can give them without causing harm to the child.

Why? Kids probably cause more property damage than pets do. Seems reasonable IMO.
It's cheaper to have no disability access than to have it. It's probably cheaper to exclude poor, black people from your property.
Too bad, when you live in a society, you have to deal with other people living in the society including those under the age of 18.

I tend to think of travel as status posturing. The thing about status posturing is people don't want others to think they are status posturing. So, they make up other reasons for why they do something. For example, you need the huge pickup truck because you haul a lot of stuff once a year. Travel is similar. People like to claim they need their status posturing to be well rounded individuals.
Now at the end of the day people have disposable income and have to spend it somewhere, but I don't think travel should be given the special regard that it is currently.

Not a fan of the whiny tone. It's not anyone else's job to make you feel welcome. The same goes for immigrants anywhere, including America.

Playing outdoors, spending time with friends, reading books and hanging out with family is happening a lot less to make room for hours of snap chatting, instagramming, and catching up on You Tube.
I'm pretty sure cause and effect run the other way. The world has changed in a lot of ways and the internet gives people a constructive outlet to fill the void.
Average number of children per household has dropped steadily over several generations. This means not only fewer siblings but fewer aunts, uncles and cousins. There are knock on effects from there that help make it less safe to play outdoors in a lot of places, family less available, etc.
It's not more dangerous to play outside (actually it's safer), it just seems that way because of media sensationalism.

TV itself was and is devastatingly effective (at spreading ideology and culture), but the primary targets of influence are not children but adults.
There were lots of TV ads directed at children. Arguably they were net negatives for society.
