you generate the middle class, by having more work than workers
The work is automated.
so companies are forced to pay more for the better people
There isn't more work than workers.
hence my two solutions,
Space colonisation
Warfare
You either find them a new place to work labor-ish
Or you have them kill each other
"Space colonization" isn't a solution. It's magic as far as this conversation is concerned.
"A wizard did it" basically.
you know, i had that argument used against me when places like Patreon started
and youtube monetization
"No one will pay for that"
How's that doing these days.
ask Tim, he seems to be holding on well enough
"well enough" in that he's not starving. I don't think Tim is thriving.
How much travel is the guy doing these days?
How much is there to travel TO these days?
Tim already said he wont go to extremist rallies, only to neutral ones
or Sargon, he's not going anywhere, and earning enough
Tim makes really good money from what I understand
and dozens of famous pundits etc
Extra money goes to improving his content
So this justifies faith in space colonization solving economic problems that will happen in our lifetimes....
This is not a convincing argument.
neither is your "Oh I dont see it happening, so its magic" argument
Dozens of pundits are not starving due to patreon, therefore ???
Elon Musk, notorious optimist, claims that one-way travel to Mars will cost $250,000 in current dollars by 2050.
Being a little more realistic I think we can say that merely traveling to another planet will still be outside the means of a low-skilled worker for the remainder of my lifetime at least. Let alone being able to afford the cost of living there without a skill.
thats only cuz theres no race to get there ASAP
So Joe Truckdriver ain't going to get a ticket to Mars to solve his financial problems.
This is a nonsense argument.
Nor is he going to get Patreon support.
You realise it took less than 20 years to get to the moon right? Cuz we finally wanted to
I think I'm a little better positioned than Joe Truckdriver to survive in the coming economy, but if I had to live off Patreon money I think I'd starve.
How many people live on the moon.
This is silly.
Thats so not the point
Yes it is
Zero money is generated on the moon.
yes and thats not the point
You are being silly.
