The traditional republican reflex of "the free market will fix it" is going to lead to increasing numbers of Americans being priced out of homes and food.
And you're going to see more and more wealth being concentrated in the hands of tech firm owners and investors, and those with the mental acuity to add value in technology sectors.
I don't think that's the kind of society anyone really wants, but there aren't any politicians even thinking about it let alone talking about it.
because such ideas are radical, and they're scared of stepping out of the status quo
why do you think so many reps who were anti trump fel in line?
They were scared and were like "ooh he's weird, we're not like that"
Then they saw it WORKED and people love it, and now they're "ooh yes, we side with Trump, he's our guy see?"
afaik only McCaine is still against Trump, and he's got a brain tumor
Isn't Paul Ryan also anti Trump still?
**I AM THE SENATE**
I don't think so? Paul Ryan was trumps buddy initially?
Trump supporters hate him.
Preventing society destroying levels of wealth disparity is the kind of problem you want to get ahead of, because if you're merely reacting to it after it has already happened then by definition you're fighting against entrenched wealthy powerful tech firms.
step 1 of humanity,
It is better to be right after the problem,
Than be right BEFORE the problem
I want the migrant crisis solved because being right after the problem will have far greater consequences.
yes
but our glorious leaders don't
Migrant crisis is part of the larger problem. How are illiterate migrants with no skills or capital going to be able to contribute to an economy where all the low-skilled jobs are being eliminated due to automation?
They probably won't
They're going to be competing with citizens for the dwindling number of low-skilled jobs remaining that require human touch.
That's not the goal of the crisis though.
It's a race-to-the-bottom in terms of wages.
It's for "moral" reasons.
Look at it from this angle:
A leader who has a stable economy, and pre-emptively defeated Islam terrorists,
"Nice, but you wasted tax money on something that MIGHT have happened... what else did you do?"
A leader who rebuilt an economy and defeated terrorists who bombed stuff
"Thank you for saving our economy and saving our lives, you're a hero"
also they're not brought in for moral reasons, they're brought in for votes
IF the overwhelming public was "Fuck those people" and was vocal about it,
You'd have a country that blocks its borders, thats why Hungary and Poland do it
While stupid sobbing female university students in Sweden may justify uncontrolled migration for "moral" reasons, Merkel and her Eurocrats are justifying it as "they'll pay for our retirement".
Which is nonsense, and everyone knows it's nonsense.
I was watching a video about how ungrateful people aren't happy and how people who are ungrateful see themselves as victims. Basically the TDS faction in a nutshell. They don't see how much good Trump has done and how many future issues are being defused preemptively.
oh its true...
It will be an "early retirement" though 😉
Left unchecked what'll happen is massive wealth concentration and a return to something akin to feudalism, with moneyed lords living head and shoulders above teeming masses living at bare subsistence.
aristocracy
Aren't the coasts of the US basically an aristocracy now?
Not quite that bad, but heading that way.
yeah
CA is ran by the Hollywood Elite
NY is ran by the Wall Street Elite
Silicon Valley vs. junkies living in tents under overpasses.
Tim, the Ç is pronounced like an English S in "sea" for example. Watched the Google is winning the censorship war and that bit me so hard in the butt <:bubuXD:467361348813324298>
To be fair, SF does basically encourage homelessness
SF is an extreme, yes. Caused mostly by their own mismanagement and stupidity.
whens this Unite the Right rally again?
But it's illustrative.
