My faith in Trump is waining
Andrew Yang an Asian Democrat cares more about the white working class than the entire GOP
Andrew Yang is an idiot
Rand Paul is where it's at
@Kaladin How so? Andrew Yang seems to have a great deal of common sense about him. I was impressed in more than one way.
He believes in an UBI
Just that
nothing more needs to be said
Rand paul votes against trump. He is not acceptable
He votes for what is right
I mean, not as good an ron, but sill the best man in government rn
Not like we're getting a wall
Might as well get $1,000 a month
We need landmines and turrets
That $1000 a month will have bad consequences
Do you know why he brings up UBI? @Kaladin We coming very shortly to the reality of automation of many more jobs. Particularly truck drivers. He is one of the only ones to bring up the way technology will change the economy
Yeah so? Automation isn't bad for the economy, it is better for the average person to have lower prices.
It will be 3-4x as many jobs being replaced than the previous change in automation
What will happen to the millions of truck drivers ? The rust belt has never recovered
We don't work to work, we work to have a better life. But the division of labour is a thing, and specialisation. With automation, we will just have more jobs in different sectors, maybe in another sector that doesn't exist yet
Well most jobs in a big city
But that's not the reality
I want a source for the number of truck drivers, but I don't see how it is bad to have cheaper transport costs. And they can train to get into a new profession, or maybe the jobs won't all disappear overnight, because it's a gradual change
It is, and has been for the last 200 years
Are you fan of Tucker Carlson?
I like some of things, but not really
I’m sleepy
And he is very wrong on economics
Maybe get some rest?
But yeah, I'm a tom woods guy
If you look at the backdrop we automated away 4 million jobs in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Missouri. And those communities have never recovered.
Where if you look at the numbers. Half of the workers left the work force and never worked again.
And then half of that group filed for disabilities
Yeah, that's shit. But you can't solve that with an UBI, nor is that necessary a national problem
Source please
Question, do you support the tariffs?
I don't do sources. waste of time. Hopefully you don't need a source to understand that this automation will happen to truckdrivers, retail workers, fast food workers. On and on and on through the economy.
As we evolve in technology we marginalize the labor of more and more Americans
Okay, so I'm supposed to take your word as truth that half the work force never worked again?
The automation of jobs seems a bit too obvious for me to waste time finding where I read it
