That would give people a measure for how unsustainable it is.

I'm personally in favor of giving the taxpayers more control over how their money is allocated. That way, they'd have to sell the idea to us.

mfw @Milk is forced to accept handouts via pandhandling when whatever job he has becomes automated <:HyperLmao:459545665517780993>

@Milk while I technically agree, I believe that is less likely to happen once we move to private charity

I'm not going to comment

I hate debates about automation

why because it's a real issue

It isn't

go away

Lol

You sound like a conspiracy theorist

and not this penny ante shit about social programs?

Automation debate is fearmongering

Automation will be an issue within a few decades.

Automation debate is not only real, it's happened in the past

It was an issue when car manufacturers started it.

"AI is going to..." *puts on tin foil hat* "replace all the jobs man"

Thousands of jobs lost to machines.

lol

fearmongering

A huge portion of the labour pool

Gone.

more like genuine foreboading

Thousands of new jobs open up in new industries

Not all jobs, but jobs for people who have not yet been able to get an education.

No

i said I hate these debTes

go back to welfare

People do get education though

Teenagers, and young adults who reply on those jobs to pay tuition.

Etc.

abolish the DoEd

This is off topic though.

so I suppose people more educated and intelligent than you are by a long shot worrying about automation putting millions of people out of work are just crazy conspiracy nuts

This idea that workers can't increase their work potential and can't educate themselves is just factually untrue and very insulting to workers. This is an elitist taking point

We should stop this now.

I wonder what it would look like if all schools were private/charity-funded.

And move to chat, or serious topic.

lol I like where this is headed tbh

"so I suppose people more educated and intelligent than you are by a long shot worrying about automation putting millions of people out of work are just crazy conspiracy nuts"

Yes

A lot of educated people talk about things they are completely ignorant about.
