America’s economic future isn’t about factory jobs and trade deals. It’s about robots

[guno]

But the uneducated rube-ish mooks in flyover country will be out of luck without a technical education, no one is bringing the unskilled and semi skilled jobs back to rubeland


A recent McKinsey analysis of job automation risk found nearly half of current job tasks could be automated “using already demonstrated technology” — but fewer than 5 percent of jobs could be entirely automated. The caveat here, as with all such analyses, is that emerging technologies could change these calculations and make more jobs vulnerable. Regardless, it seems safe to say that smart robots and software will at least do more and more routine or repetitive bits of jobs, hopefully allowing workers more time to focus on the creative, design, or emotion-driven parts of their work.

What? No white, Christian, conservative bashing??!!!!

I'm impressed!!!!! Shocked but impressed. There may be help for you after all.

 

[Fenton Lum]

That's what privatized prisons and a return to corporate convict leasing are for. There's ya jobs coming back.

 

[Auld Phart]

Depends on what you want.

Do you want this:

Or this?

Its all about economics.. Does it cost more to automate or just hire labor?


Btw we could of automated almost everything in the 80s the technology was there..just not economically sound

Robots won't just affect "Fly Over" Rubeland. It will even more adversely affect your strongholds on the Left coast due to sheer economics. It will be cities to automate first since the payoff for the capital investment in automation/robots will come much sooner than rural areas.

Be careful who you are laughing at, because the joke may be on you.

And yet the status quo you supported so rabidly also included large number of Third World skilled worker visas so that even if those "rubes" got a degree, they still would be undercut by Third World labor.

I figured he was talking about robots like his dumbass that parrot insipid shit for what...??? Ten Cents per post?

Why anyone would pay a moonbat to make hitlary followers look appealing and be happy with guano's work is beyond me.

The future will be agrarian. The excessive material lifestyles of the first world are not sustainable.

people need jobs to buy goods and pay taxes.

Machines/robots do neither. They can produce goods but people have to have money to buy them, hence jobs are required

Over tax business and the top 1%, they will move elsewhere.

Machines help, but should not replace or the economy will create have the country as a poverty welfare class. If the top income and businesses leave, there is no way to support the welfare class and the country collapses.

The country needs jobs, human jobs, labor, commerce, trade, exchange and taxes

Or a guaranteed national income like the proles in vonegutt's 1950's novel "player piano", received. Someone had to buy the products the robots made.

They have to have an income to buy. Without a source of taxes, there will be no national income or welfare

ilk like the OP is trying to fear monger so the uninformed votes for socialist marxist democrats...let the government help you...let the government nanny you.

So, what do you imagine the lifespan will be in this agrarian utopia?

 

[leftwinger]

They said same thing about ATM. I'm not sure? Someone has to design, fabricate, test, program, operate, maintain, monitor etc. All of this automated equipment. Thats a lot of jobs.

Increased productivity frees labor up for other.

Correct. The income came from the corporations that saved mucho money by using robots instead of humans. It was either taxes or direct stipends from the companies. It's just a novel, but the author came up with it after working in factories after ww2 and seeing the possibilities of robots doing much of the humans' work even back then.

Utopia? Please do not engage in strawman.

It will be much longer, provided the earth has not been irreparably damaged by that point. The earliest agrarian societies were believed to be healthier than our own. Modern medicine would still exist too.

To your kind, simply stating reality is fear mongering.

Here is something that should terrify your kind. In China, people making $172 a month are being replaced by robots. Because even at $172 a month, robots are cheaper.

China’s Impending Robot Revolution

Second, with the possible exception of India, no other nation can match China’s capacity for producing the number of engineers necessary to oversee industrial robots at significant scale. One recent analysis concluded that each year China graduates at least three times as many engineers as the U.S. (we know what Republicans think of education, don't we?)

Robots per 10,000 automotive employees: selected countries 2015 | Robotics

That's over 1,200 robots per 10,000 employees in the US. And the number is growing. In China, it's 392 and really, really growing.

Medical technology does not grow on trees, it is EXPENSIVE. You want a sustainable green future?

Forget about ever having vat grown organs, or pills to increase muscle mass in the elderly.


Forget about longer life spans.
