That's besides the point and ignorant. There is going to be a time in the near future where there simply will not be jobs and something is going to be done to address that.
Districts and Hunger Games But seriously, factory workers want to welcome you to the present. Fast food workers are also joining the crowd. Semi-truck drivers are currently fighting against it. Also relevant https://www.washingtonpost.com/amph...891964-9883-11e7-82e4-f1076f6d6152_story.html
And then there's less managers because there's less workers. Less people can afford the products. Unemployment rises. And society has to decide just how awesome this thing called capitalism is. Businesses will have to start making tough choices and it all collapses, or we decide on a living wage for the public... The future is going to be fun!
There will still be bodegas. You will justpay a higher price than the vending machines for that service. Universal living wage is going to have to happen in our lifetime.
I highly doubt this. This is such a gloomy outlook for humanity and i don't think we get to that point anytime soon.
I just don't see a way to avoid it. The moment cars and trucks are fully and reliably automated without human supervision, hundreds of thousands of people will be unemployed. I don't see any way to combat that. But you're right, it's seemed that way before and we've shifted. The pace of automation was also a lot slower back then so we had time to adjust.
I remember being a kid about 10 years old and computers were just coming into households as mainstream. Ever since then we have been told that computers / robots will take our jobs. In hindsight they have been one of the biggest job creators in history. Who is going to service those fleets of cars and trucks. Who is going to monitor them? Update their software and hardware? Fix them when they have a glitch? Guide them through areas GPS can't reach? Many jobs will be replaced with ancillary jobs. And of course innovation. There is so much we have yet to even discover. We are on one planet in a universe of billions. There is work to be done for as long as the eye can see right now.
its stunning that DACA is the one issue his brain seems to work like most sane humans only that issue though
beside the overarching point that his base is mostly rallied around deporting brown people check that low Texas share
man his staff pushing back on something trump says privately then the next day trump undercutting his staff by confirming it will never get old
This is going to end with him taking credit for doing repairs to the existing barrier and calling it "his" wall.
if trump came out of the inauguration without having poisoned the well during the transition and made a bipartisan bill on infrastructure, did this same pussy footing around about the wall to save face, passed the DREAM act, shored up ACA exchanges, repealed some regulations, and got conservative judges appointed he'd likely be widely popular
Uh, yeah, this is concerning: https://www.thecipherbrief.com/arti...g-military-exercise-21st-century-trojan-horse
For decades I've watched things that I like or am comfortable with get killed and vast swaths of the labor market get eviscerated or displaced. And it's been going of for generations before that, but it's really accelerated with the rise of technology and jumps in productivity. The whole "forgotten man" thing of Trumps's campaign of white males losing their factory or coal mining jobs is just the tip of the iceberg. Everywhere you look sectors and the workers in them are either getting disrupted or made obsolete. The theory is that all of this innovation creates new opportunities and new jobs, but in reality it doesn't always work that way, especially for the low skilled or those that can't/won't move to where the jobs are. More and more people are on the outside looking in, with no chance at t middle class life. This was a pretty good read of some of those themes, but it's 4 years old and already a bit crusty.
