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

raising hte minimum wage will make automation happen faster

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

Doctors should be able to prescribe housing like they do medicine

there are a limited amount of real good jobs out there,
crappy minimum wage jobs are becoming the only option for poor people

Make corporations pay taxes, and create more expansive social programs.

then get a desireable skill

Income inequality and mental issues go hand and hand

minimum wage jobs are for teens for spare cash

Housing shortage is the cause

Trump is a fucktard who will screw up our Coronavirus response and ruin the country. The markets are already tumbling. All of you cucks can go fuck yourselves.
