Automation increases number of jobs and also the things you can buy with that money. The thing that has fucked everyone over is real estate prices. And that's because building permits are hard to get. People are afraid that their home value will decline, so they block new building permits for the illusion that it sustains their own home price. That's an evil move (and btw I say that as a homeowner). It's also unnecessary, when more homes are in an area long term it increases the price of real estate in that area.

Anyway, my point is that everything is expensive because of the price of real estate. Robots will increase the number of jobs by increasing the number of products and services we have available. People will have jobs facilitating and managing robots or fleets of robots. The real way to wealth shall be to own robots, the same as owning a restaurant or a company with a bunch of employees. Since that will be taxed or the government may even own a percent of some companies (socialism?), even a $200 welfare or UBI check would buy you a lot of stuff.

With the username "Fly Swatter" of course you'd want the windows open.

It basically looks for Windows and deletes it.

Itâ(TM)s worth the extra cost to not funnel money into the uneducated and religion mad Middle East.

We only have about 1 billion, maybe 2 billion at max years to figure out how to build a generational starship. That may seem like a long time, but it'll be right up on us in no time. You realize that with present day tech, it's basically impossible. We don't have the faintest idea of how to build a habitat in space. It's not even in the realm of imagination as to how to do it. We need to start funding it at a massive level.

When are countries going to have autonomous humanoid robot soldiers? If only someone had made a movie to warn the public of the dangers of robots we wouldn't be in this predicament.

I understand your pathological need to blame any and everything including tsunamis on capitalism, but do you have any proof the public blamed the engineers over the CEOs for the disaster?

And by the way, you really want to dump this on capitalism? Seriously? If you’re itching to pick a fight, let’s bring Chernobyl into this—because that wasn’t some act of nature. That was your beloved system basically nuking itself through sheer incompetence, or maybe it was because it couldn't stand communism anymore. Either way, it took everyone and their neighbors along for the ride.

on hallucination.

Would love to know what mental gymnastics you use to justify the claim that underfunding explains why he wasn't even allowed to bring a book from home.

Moons in the bright. One eye squares.

Which are?

Did you inherit the farm, or went into it green?

They are basically doing the opposite of libertarian/conservatism stated philosophy which is weak federal government. Instead they are doing straight up socialism (owning stake in companies/production) and exerting power uninvited in states (ICE raids).

We know it was always about tribalism.
