However I can try to gather my points and collect why it all works together with other economic policies and why they would help

Okay Iโ€™ll try to consolidate them all after I do my civil liberties homework

Goodnight

Okay I see no point in staying here

They donโ€™t focus on actual economics

Just what they donโ€™t want to pay for

Iโ€™d rather pay higher taxes and actually get better healthcare from it

Why

Healthcare is the most important issue that affects all Americans though

Okay so my economic solution comes down to the basics of opportunity

Essentially the economy is stagnant, so you need more people to enter the workforce to add more buying power. Put caps on automation, restrictions on the size of corporations, tax American companies who produce overseas at a higher rate (as opposed to tariffs), so they return to producing here

Basically it will start a chain reaction where more people are working good jobs, then they buy more things, which boosts production.

Well, the factories need to hire a certain number of workers based on their size

So jobs wonโ€™t be outsourced by automation

How would you stop it then

If people donโ€™t work people wonโ€™t make money

How will you fund a government with no revenue

Basically the rich who own the AI and the technology will own the world

And it will be a dystopian libertarian world with weird inside/outside the matrix politics that will become feudal and/or tribal

Yes

Technology is good in moderation

But if humans have nothing to do, then what?

We have effectively made ourselves obsolete

More useless than the technology we have created

The thing is Iโ€™m not a traditionalist

I canโ€™t really define myself

But if we make jobs obsolete then we have massive issues of poverty

When people donโ€™t work they commit crime

Iโ€™m against coal

But that doesnโ€™t mean I want robots to work our jobs

Because in that way why have money, why have corporations, why have factories?

Who makes money if no one works?

So youโ€™re a techno communist

But not everyone can be an artist

Some people are better workers

Should we just cull the non-creative among us

People need jobs or society will fall apart

The countries with the highest crime have some of the highest poverty rates

And crime comes with poverty

Mans reason to live is reproduction, but literally do you want people running around raping people because that is LITERALLY their only reason to live

Technology should be restricted

Used when it aids society

Not replacing it

There are no robot arms for you in the future

Hear hear

Okay Dr.Cosby are you a libertarian

Because if you are this makes sense

Basically my ideal is to preserve the state, and keep society stable

Im not afraid of it

I like it

But In moderation

I donโ€™t want a country full of jobless people in slums

No. Tractors, cranes, trucks

All useful

But people should control them

Ah but they need to be produced

So the jobs saved with tractors go into producing them

Exactly

Yes thatโ€™s why I donโ€™t like Yang

If technology runs rampant, then those who own the technology own the world

Dr Cosby do you want society to be full of non working criminals or do you think that society and government is pointless as well

You arenโ€™t answering me

Whatโ€™s your take on society

Government

Doesnโ€™t mean the people here are bad

There

I just think people need to work

Itโ€™s irrational to give up our own power and control to robots

Okay

1984

Literally, they were worried about this in the 1950s

There are those in society who think all progress is good no matter what

And those who want progress but only when it explicitly helps society

Exactly

Yeah we are on the same page

Iโ€™m terrified of people who would give up their freedoms to robots

and what would happen if these people gain power

And itโ€™s not that robots would kill us. Itโ€™s not that they would work to end society. We wold end society because of creating immortal beings who make our lives obsolete

Would*

Um

Yeah if they actually put tax dollars towards taking care of vets instead of giving it to contractors, we might be in a better situation

Then again, Medicare for all would solve the VA issue

Ah so this is where everyone is

Just for the record Cosby has been on this for at least 4 hours if not longer

2020-01-28 02:20:45 UTC [NEWS and POLITICS #race-issues]  

Okay so race issues. Why canโ€™t people just see that people are people no matter what they look like? Identity politics is stupid, just treat people the same

We should hold a poll
