back to the original topic tho, let me ask you something:
are you at all upset over immigration taking american jobs?
This is all hilarious
duh
at least
the illegal immigration
Immigration stole over 1 million jobs over 10 years in this country
illegal
immigration
in the next ten years, it will take maybe 1.5 million more
but automation is projected to take **40 million** within that timeframe
nobody addressed that, except yang
automation is expensive
??????
its cheap
thats why they do it
when u raise minimum wage
they will
keeping a machine running is cheaper than paying wage, benefits, insurance
I agree
I don't
Learn to repair and maintain the machines
automation happens when the cost of automating becomes lower than the cost of workers
Ez
then the people will learn a better skill
Truckers are the most common job in 29 states, and 7 million jobs across the country rely on them, diners, hotels, etc. what happens when the self driving truck happens
we all know that technology makes jobs obsolete
it's a hard question to answer
thats why we get new skill
> automation happens when the cost of automating becomes lower than the cost of workers
@Syntak
which is ALWAYS, when technology gets to a certain point
or a skill thats hard to replace
like, if it rains spaghetti and meatballs
do I eat the spaghetti or meatballs first
What do the old phone operators do for work nowadays
if someone rather picks being a cash register as a full time job
So the 'learn to code' argument doesn't really work, what happens when truck drivers are 50 years old, what just pay for college and start a new career?

why should it be everyone elses problem they cant afford basic stuff
We need a UBI supported through a VAT in order to let the people at the bottom actually have a chance at the american dream
@OwOUwU it shouldn't
People should just be able to break a leg and not have to spend the rest of their life in debt, and the taxes that come with that shouldn't have to affect others that much
