I am? I thought I was reading threads, not my fault you're posting fantasy in them. You honestly give yourself waaaaaay too much credit.

Oh look, here you are again ...

Funny how message boards work, ain't it.

If only you could communicate a coherent thought.

Projection suits you to a T.

So no?

So no it doesn't? You're still living in a fantasy world, oh well, can't help ya there pal.

I don't see how anyone can buy into your partisanshit, but lord knows they do.

Whatta u mean, whee jobs are concerned?

 

[MindWars]

Technology and productivity are going to put, and keep, huge numbers of Americans out of work.

The curve is only going to get steeper.

We have to start looking at a universal basic salary. The problem is that, so far, our "leaders" don't have the balls to point out the obvious.
.

There'll soon be tons of jobs digging coal and building walls.

Hey never know, but tech. they'll use prison inmates cheaper labor after all that is how all states save money using the chain gang, as well as making other products and more than just license plates.

Let us suppose that yours is one of those companies that spent millions in order to develop labor saving methods, union troubles and production costs in general.

Let us suppose that your company is willing to share the wealth with its employees and former employees

Let us suppose that your company in fact DOES share this wealth with former employees who no longer do anything for the benefits that they are receiving which were developed by a cadre of people regarded as geeks by the former employees.

Lert us suppose that the free loaders reach the point when they are not satisfied with what they get for doing nothing.

Let us suppose that there is a perfect world where people live without envy and learn to live within their means and where people realize that they deserve nothing more than what their capabilities and efforts earn them, and when you find that perfect world, letme know , but hurry, I only have about another 100 years to live.

So there will be fewer FoxConn employees attempting suicide.

This is not about envy or being financially responsible. It's about the fact that technology and automation and efficiency and productivity have already reached a point at which fewer and fewer human beings are required to perform the tasks required of a normally-functioning economy. This trend is only going to continue and feed on itself.

It also assumes that ours is a civilization that is thoughtful enough to know that willingly leaving other Americans to simply rot is beneath us, as both an advanced society and an advanced species.

Are there risks? Of course there are. But ours is not a binary world. We don't just throw up our hands and quit when a potential problem presents itself. We find ways to mitigate risk. One way is to work together like adults to find common ground and answers to problems - which used to be the way America worked.

[danielpalos]

we may need to simplify our tax codes, so robots can work and pay our taxes for us.

 

[Correll]

The purpose of "globalization" is harmonized regulatory systems such that capital knows no nationalism. Nationalism is for the little people.

The Little People make up the world.

The Leaders need to be reminded of that.

Long term, you may be right. RObots and AI software will be able to do the vast majority of work.

Zero.

As demonstrated by their handling of outsourcing and globalization.

Surely they know the problem is upon us now. I refuse to believe that they have somehow missed it.

So I wonder why both parties are so afraid to take it on.

Maybe they think it will someone else's problem down the road. I'm not sure that's a good idea.

The down side of regular elections. Lack of long range planning.

Money has already been earned and taxed, at least once. Only the right wing, never gets it.

Fiat money has no intrinsic value.

Absolutely!!! That will never happen using the systems rules, such as the vote.

And all we're doing is "making money" through debt. All bubbles are eventually unsustainable.
