Every job replaced by automation is a NEW PERSON looking for a job on the same market as everyone else.

2018-08-06 14:08:23 UTC  

Job seekers get more and more crowded.

2018-08-06 14:08:24 UTC  

heres the difference
Engineering as a study is:
"Build a machine with only 5 wires, and an engine"

Engineering as a general trade
"Fake it 'till you make it" like any trade really 😛

2018-08-06 14:08:40 UTC  

and no, not THAt literally

2018-08-06 14:09:03 UTC  

@Scribblehatch yeah, that's true

2018-08-06 14:09:11 UTC  

I'm shocked that people aren't being realistic about what's happening.

2018-08-06 14:09:30 UTC  

I'm concerned about all the soon to be unemployed truckers

2018-08-06 14:09:40 UTC  

This is not a car replacing the horse situation.

2018-08-06 14:09:45 UTC  

Yes.

2018-08-06 14:09:57 UTC  

Hence they should find a backup skill to replace their job with,

And i know its not easy, but life isn't easy

2018-08-06 14:10:09 UTC  

@Dr.Wol I also agree with this

2018-08-06 14:10:14 UTC  

It's one of the only jobs that you can rely on to pay you enough, that you can get without much prep and expense.

2018-08-06 14:10:20 UTC  

They should, but that doesn't fix the problem

2018-08-06 14:10:36 UTC  

Every job needing very specific requirements and years of experience. Why is no one surprised things have gotten so BAD out there with the amount of unemployed?

2018-08-06 14:10:44 UTC  

And WHY do people keep misreading the stats?

2018-08-06 14:10:55 UTC  

Unemployment only accounts for the people still looking.

2018-08-06 14:10:55 UTC  

full AI run post-scarce society will fix the problem

Until that, you'll always have problems and a need to fix it

2018-08-06 14:11:35 UTC  

It could fix the problem, but we have to choose for it to without things going to shit in the mean time

2018-08-06 14:11:36 UTC  

If you're living paycheck to paycheck already..

2018-08-06 14:11:42 UTC  

You have NO BACKUP.

2018-08-06 14:12:09 UTC  

Once your current situation dissolves, that's it for you. A sudden free fall into the abyss.

2018-08-06 14:12:09 UTC  

living paycheck to paycheck doesn't mean you're working 16/7

2018-08-06 14:12:25 UTC  

people rioting and razing all robotics labs until robots are outlawed could also fix the problem

2018-08-06 14:12:28 UTC  

Why did he just say 16/7.

2018-08-06 14:12:36 UTC  

16 hours per day, 7 days per week

2018-08-06 14:12:40 UTC  

Yes.

2018-08-06 14:12:42 UTC  

aka, work and sleep

2018-08-06 14:12:43 UTC  

Why 16/7

2018-08-06 14:13:03 UTC  

cuz 24/7 is impossible for the human body

2018-08-06 14:13:05 UTC  

8 hours is the recommended minimum sleep

2018-08-06 14:13:10 UTC  

I didn't say anything about hours in the day.

2018-08-06 14:13:14 UTC  

Why did you?

2018-08-06 14:13:23 UTC  

"There's more to it than that thing you didn't say!"

2018-08-06 14:13:36 UTC  

you say people who live paycheck to paycheck don't have any options

Unless they work all day and the only time they don't work is sleep

2018-08-06 14:13:51 UTC  

they'll have some time to self-learn / practice / find some way to improve themselves

2018-08-06 14:14:02 UTC  

Classes cost money.

2018-08-06 14:14:14 UTC  

you don't need classes to self-learn

2018-08-06 14:14:22 UTC  

Self-learn. Yeah, like an employee will give a shit without credientials.

2018-08-06 14:14:24 UTC  

ARe you off your nut

2018-08-06 14:14:27 UTC  

Remember that time Moe ran a hip hop dancing for self defense class?

2018-08-06 14:14:36 UTC  

Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting people hire based on self-learning?
