that too so you have a bunch of unemployed code miners

yup

and so many of those existing employees arent technical. sales, hr, product support etc

ppl forget that side

the numbers I got were mostly in software

im not sure about that. lemme check

well that's according to business insider and it's just an estimate but it's a good working number for the argument

Samsung as a whole has 275000 employees which is ridiculous

maybe youre right. apparently googles total count is 98,771

you would think the numbers would be the reverse

so 18% of their employees are software

samsung has their own manufacturing so theres probably a lot of factory workers in that number

yeah, then cleaners, hr, pr and advertising, customer service etc

no wonder they're so expensive they've got an army to support

pretty much, apple as well

damn, 80% of googles revenue is from clicks

gimme some of that lol

imagine would the company would have been had they not come up with google ads

probably bankrupt

probably. or at least way smaller.

lol the timing

lol noice

that being said just thinking about what I'd do with an extra $1000 a month....

lol im so not down with ubi

probably the same I do now but with nicer furniture

thats probably what would happen, ppl adjust their output to be right back where they were pre ubi

solving nothin

i touched on UBI yesterday when talking about birth rates, UBI seems to be needed because of trying to pump up birth rates

let the birth rates fall you reduce the need of it since eventually population will drop to what is sustainable

i'm starting to think lower birth rates in the west is not a problem but an adjustment

Africa is simply breeding itself into greater poverty

its big gov that cannot be weaned off the faucet of tax revenue

so instead of downsizing to meet pop levels, they just import the 3rd world

then realise they don't have enough jobs to go around

its a return feudalism

return to*

although the issue would be is how long till it balances out, at what point does the birth rate balance out with the rate of automation

new jobs will appear. this is always the case

old jobs become obsolete, new ones come up

but not always at the same rate as ones gone

sure, thats true
