The video is about the divide in conservatism over free markets and tech innovation, but it covers all the topics we are currently on about
Alright, sure. Well actually, I'll add it to watch later. I'm in the middle of cooking right now, but send a friend request or I'll just tag you sometime later once I watch it.
Alright, cheers.
However, firstly, it is important to understand the way civilization has changed in the past 100 years. It’s shifted to favor the cognitively intelligent who develop complicated systems that make basic needs cheap. Following the past few decades of rapid advancement, a large segment of the populus are rendered intellectually incapacitated in terms of meeting the demand of these new industries. Throughout history, being very intelligent did not grant you special privileges. Mostly everybody had the ability to support families working in a factory line, farming, or performing manual labor. Today, the rapidly expanding tech sectors of the economy necessitate people to wrestle with complex systems whether it be cognitively demanding ones like programming and mathematically intensive ones like accounting. A primary threat to workers is the debate surrounding wide-scale automation of the automobile industry, which threatens to displace the 4.4 million mostly men whose income depend upon that or who would support families thru these jobs. It is the biggest source of employment for men with a high-school education in the country, I do worry about what this would mean for their families if it were to be suddenly phased out in the coming years. A respone of the neckbreak speed of free-market innovationists to these concerns has been to remind us that whenever there’s a massive technological innovation on the horizon, the instinct of people si to find a reason to halt it in order to safeguard their jobs and work. Which is fair in the context of horses, buggies, and cars, but the challenge of as of yet unseen opportunity doesn't exist in the same landscape. One can imagine more jobs would be created and then add onto the system of automated cars, but the bottomline of skill to be able to do sucht actions is beyond what truck drivers could be retrained to do. @President Sanders📍🇺🇸
Excerpt from the video
@everyone Daily Question 🔖
- How do we solve homelessness and joblessness? How would you go about implementing change?
first
also sup
im cool
(proven)
FJG
I would encourage the abolition of all welfare except for people who genuinely can not work, replace it with a massive jobs program. We have more empty jobs than we do homeless people, we can put every single able bodied person to work if we wanted to. Wages should also be raised to match with inflation, and should always match inflation.
Purchasing power should also increase massively in order to match with inflation and wages
Purchasing power has remained stagnant even though wages and inflation dictate it should rise
Execution is the answer
I agree with @Deleted User on the abolition of welfare
Plus maybe getting rid of the minimum wage
@kwit_dat_Stalin Problem is we have to force corporations to pay people more
They have to match wages with inflation
You guys are no fun
@kwit_dat_Stalin No, it has to match with inflation
Productive output has increased and corporations always matched wages with it, but for several years now they refuse to match wages with productive output
This is greed and corruption
They deserve to be put to death for treason against the people of they refuse
😳
Next, the housing market is corrupt and greedy as well
Yea
Housing markets have not matched house prices and rent with wages
Yea
What about interest rates tho
🤔
What about them
Sorry I was on another server for a second
What about what?
You said what about interest rates
What about them
Oh

Trying to fix things with lower interest rates
