Oracle Summary

Kevin Hassett lands at 68/100 (heavy cope) for denial. Senior White House economic official issued direct denial of documented AI displacement concerns while providing zero empirical support. Contradicts Stanford research showing measurable employment gaps in AI-exposed occupations and ignores the documented 20% rise in worker fears. Classic comfort narrative from a government official with structural economic accountability, deploying reassurance without evidence to suppress legitimate labor market anxieties.
