Comment We're going to put 30 million people out of work (Score 1) 7
Very soon. That's on top of stuff like how Amazon uses 50% robots in its warehouses and that percentage continues to increase.
We are going to have major social problems when that unemployment hits. There isn't going to be anything for those people to do. Especially the Uber drivers. Uber is pretty much the bottom of employment in america, sub minimum wage in many cases. If you're at that level then it's because there isn't anything else for you.
People always say that there will always just be more jobs but what do you actually have the base that off of? I can tell you that I know history and there was widespread technological unemployment following both industrial revolutions. We didn't actually solve that technological unemployment until after world war II.
I guess we could do world war III only this time we've got nukes.
We could transition from a competitive society to a cooperative one but absolutely nobody except a handful of socialists wants to do that. And I mean a handful. Even among socialists a lot of them don't want to do it
Basically I'm just spitting out problems here without solutions. Happy to hear solutions but all I ever hear is people denying the problem exists.
That works. For a little while anyway.
