So, like, the new Indicator from Planet Money is talking about all these crazy things happening. Student loans are back, US travel is whack, and AI, like, needs to chill. It’s like, the Indicator of the Week or something. We’re looking at some, like, super interesting economic numbers from the news. Today, we’re checking out why foreign travel to the U.S. is, like, dropping, why student loans are coming back to haunt us, and why maybe we should reconsider being so buddy-buddy with our AI chatbots.
I mean, not really sure why this matters, but there are economists talking about forgiving student loans. Is AI overrated or underrated? Who knows, man.
