Why do you think we need to do that? The economy will sort itself out as it always has. The job market will just shift. Some jobs will stop being, others will be more in-demand, which will create entirely new ones.
- unprepare 10y agoThis is hand waving. 60,000 jobs were just destroyed by automation, this isnt hypothesizing anymore its reality. Where do these 60,000 people go now? What are the new jobs that these robots have created?
- cosmolev 10y agoJobs like creating, progamming, maintaining those robots?
- unprepare 10y agoSo if i replace 100 workers with 1 robot, and it takes 1 programmer and 1 maintenance technician to maintain said robot - I've created 2 jobs by destroying 100. This is what you are proposing as the solution to the problem of job shortages?
- zardo 10y agoThe economy will sort itself out and efficiently provide goods for those with the means to trade for them. For those without something to trade, the economy will provide nothing.
