Is financial relief for the unemployed an example of socialism?

as more and more jobs are outsourced
and more and more jobs are taken over by computers, robotics, machinary


there will come a day when vast segments of the population are unemployed....


if NOT for unemployment/social security/welfare....

should they all just die?


if the country/leaders/capitalists have decided that the MAIN GOAL is to un-employ as many Americans as possible....

should they just die?

My preference would be our people lose work to robotics and other technologies over losing them to overseas slavery. In a robotics facility you still need people maintaining production and the equipment. Evolution is often a good thing and we end up with new jobs in the long run. It's stagnancy when our jobs flat out leave, we end up with debates on how long to extend unemployment.

People saod the same thing as we transitioned from an agricultural economy to an industrial one. Vast numbers of people were unemployed by farm machinery. Guess what, just like those people didnt just sit around but found work in the new economy, so too will people today.
Unless of course gov't gives them an incentive to sit around and let their job skills deteriorate by paying them for 3 years not to work.

That is a nasty truth. People will enter the job market bewildered at first.

It is a liberal tactic to force people to become dependent on the gov't agencies so they can guarantee their continued existence.
 
Rabbi is truly a moron. I use to think that is stuff was part of a plan. However, we have all come to realize that he understands nothing.
