Interesting. 23% real unemployment is too high. Was reading the Brogen project last night and in Bangladesh, official unemployment is 4.1% but real unemployment is 40%. People who work for a few hours with a measly salary but can barely survive are considered employed. Bangladesh remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Ironically they invented the concept of micro loans in the 70s and won noble peace price. They have potential, but the monetary system is broken. 

The global population increased triple fold in the past 70 yrs, and with women in the workforce too, there is more need for job provision. I think we have to change this mindset from providing jobs to people to enabling people to become job creators. And I think the ecosystem in bitcoin, nostr, open source enables that. 

If you do speak to him though, would love for him to go all out with the “no war” campaign that his uncle JFK strongly believed in. That and to steer away from pump and dump shitcoin - it brings more harm than good. Shitcoiners would probably try to hook him on the climate change angle. When it comes to mining and how it benefits people, Africa is at a huge advantage, countries like India uses terms like “electrified” to indicate that 100% of the country is “electrified” when what it really means is that only 10% of rural areas have access to electricity. 

I think having this opportunity to enable and empower people to build their own lives will make all the diff in the world.
