Tonight on Answers with an Edge, GenXplorer and Quinn break down the biggest questions viewers asked about the rapidly escalating global situation and the forces shaping the future.

We dug into the latest developments in the U.S.–Israel–Iran conflict, including the risk of escalation, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and how a regional war could ripple across the global economy. Viewers also asked about reports involving Oman’s role in the conflict, naval deployments, shipping disruptions, and whether the world could be moving toward a broader war.

We also tackled some major domestic questions:

• How much universal healthcare might cost in the United States
• Why some workers may pay higher effective tax rates than billionaires or corporations
• Whether AI could replace millions of jobs in the next decade
• The debate over AI data centers and energy use, including proposals to pause new construction
• What job automation might mean for government tax revenue

And, of course, we addressed your toughest viewer questions about global politics, economics, and technology—with the goal of leaving everyone a little more informed than when we started.
