Dr. Levitt, thanks for doing an AmA! If you don't mind sharing I'm sure several of us would be interested in your opinion on setting the federal minimum wage at $9-$10/hr. (Will it help create/destroy jobs, inflation, etc.) Thanks again!

I'm still waiting for the spray on shoes.. do we have an ETA on those yet?

Afternoon Mr. Ekkehard, thank you for doing an AMA.

My friends and I we're just discussing the huge impact that automated transportation could/will have on global employment. With several companies promising commercially available self-driving cars within the next several years it looks like a huge chunk of the workforce could be rapidly displaced. Entire industries that employ taxi drivers, truck drivers, public transit, and even airline pilots are likely to drastically reduce their employment levels.

I'm not sure where these displaced workers find jobs, or what the solution(s) is, but I would appreciate any of your expert insight into the matter.
