But...that's completely factually incorrect. At the dawn of the 20th century, agriculture was the biggest sector, now it's less than 1%. That's not a bad thing for the economy.
I mean the part about half the work force never working again
But the automation means that you get those things for cheaper. Think about the hours of meaningless paperwork now saved. Yes, I'm not saying that people laid off will find it easy, but it's about looking at where people are hiring, and making informed decisions. Making sure you know mutiple different skills, that you aren't just good for one industry. Being able to jump, having something in the back pocket
I remember the idea in Washington is that they will all become computer programmers and so everything would be fine. But it didn't happen. I personally think it would be insane to watch this automation wave over take our country and economy.
No, not everyone will enter the same industry. It's about individual decisions not commands from on high
Yes, and the luddites said the same thing in the 19th century
what's your solution? Ban machines?
We don't have to be ostrages with our heads in the sand. We can say "look we get it, artificial intelligence is real self driving trucks and cars are being tested on the highways right now. And we need to evolve
Yes, I agree. But your way of evolving isn't evolution, it's the same old solutions
Statism never works
We need to start pushing the way we think of economic process to include how our families are doing, how are children are doing. And things that actually matter to the American people.
Define pushing the way we think of the economic process
tell me your solutions
GDP is going to lead us off a cliff for many American communities
GDP is a false measurement, agreed.
Robot trucks are great for the GDP. Terrible for many many American communities. So we need to get with the program and figure out how to actually make this economy work for the people.
Dude, self-driving trucks are good for people.
It's the number one job in America...
You are making meaningless assertions without offering *solutions*. Dude, you need to tell me what are you proposing as a solution
bullshit, source
Nor will it
I don't know the solution man. Yangs main goal in his campaign to tell people the numbers and the devastation it will have to so many Americans. I will try to find you a source if I have time. You sound curious so I suggest researching a little big on how automation has never recovered the rust belt
Automation creates more jobs
Why has the rust belt never recovered?
Welfare
And state intervention
Automation isn’t bad as the market will always re allocate jobs
But the state has made it worse by putting min wages etc
This will be 3-4x times as many jobs
Andrew Yang is a good guy but his policies are shut
Automation yes, it’ll create more jobs
But it doesn't lmao
This has been said every time “this time it’ll kill all jobs”
It has
And it does today
Holy crap, someone just used fee as a source
Uh
That's a real libertarian
