Ben,Have you been to Asheville? I was there before the flooding. Its a cool mountain town. Foodie capital of the United States. They have restaurants galore,an art district and a UNC campus. The Vanderbuilt Mansion is worth visiting. Outside of Asheville is the quaint little town of Black Mountain. It has a cool vibe. Check it out when you have time. MMM

AI might worry workers, but it’s mostly a profit machine for big names across key sectors. BLS data shows where the gains land:
Natural Resources & Mining : ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), ConocoPhillips (COP) use AI to cut costs in exploration and maintenance. Good for margins.
Construction : Caterpillar (CAT), Deere (DE), Vulcan Materials (VMC) get safer sites and robot help. Productivity up, expenses down.
Manufacturing : Ford (F), GM (GM), 3M (MMM) automate routine work. Savings help earnings but big upfront costs mean mixed short-term impact.
Trade & Transport : Walmart (WMT), Amazon (AMZN), FedEx (FDX) slash retail and warehouse labor with AI. Cheaper logistics = fatter profits.
Information : Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta (META), Netflix (NFLX) grow new AI tools fast. More products, more money.
Finance : JPMorgan (JPM), BofA (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS) automate back-office tasks. Efficiency lifts earnings.
Professional Services : Accenture (ACN), IBM (IBM), ADP (ADP) profit as firms pay for AI consulting. Clear boost to revenue.
Healthcare & Education : UnitedHealth (UNH), HCA (HCA), CVS (CVS) use AI in diagnostics and virtual care. Better operations, higher margins.
Leisure & Hospitality : McDonald’s (MCD), Starbucks (SBUX), Disney (DIS) gain from kiosks but risk weaker customer spend. Net impact mixed.
Bottom line: AI cuts millions of jobs but shaves costs, opens new products, and helps margins , a tailwind for corporate profits if they handle it right.
