Like I said. It is absolutely great for the GDP
Automation has always resulted in more jobs
GDP isn’t what I’m referring to
Dude, do you think it will be better for people if people worked more?
It has not
Gdp isn’t even a good measure for the economic growth
GDP is bullshit
I agree with you
The fact that prices will fall and people’s material standard of living will rise
It is like measuring apples and tvs
GDP is simply spending
It may give some idea but
It *is* compering apples and tvs
And spending has nothing to do with material prospierty
Automation is really made worse by intervention
If Yang fries to stop it, companies will move countries and you have a bigger job loss
Tries*
I am saying... If it always created more jobs. why have half the 4 million jobs lost to automation in the midwest and 2 million of them have never worked again @sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ
please demonstrate that actually happened
And I repeat, do you think it would be better if people worked more?
Intervention and welfare
And that's not jobs
“Another factor is the growing trend of occupational licensing. Requiring licenses to become a pet-sitter or hair braider has made it more difficult for people to launch new careers.”
Welfare subsidies unproductive activities
And intervention just raises the cost of business and results in lower demand for workers
I'm not here to find sources for you @Kaladin maybe later sure ask me then
Things like a min wage is a good example of why automation is happening faster
Well, faster, but it would happen anyway
and that's a good thing
Yeah and it would not be so exacerbated
Humans won’t be fully replaced, ever
Companies know they need to survive they need money
That money can only come if people are working to buy their products
That's kind of subsidizing is in the same vain as what Andrew Yang is talking about by bringing up UBI @sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ
If nobody works they’re done
UBI is less worse
Well, that's interfered with by government as well
But it’s still bad
UBI is the same thing, and welfare wouldn't go away
Mhm
