I definitely wouldn't put all my fears, hopes, and dreams in to a vote for a politician who promises to bring my job back.
What I WOULD do is move to a place with the lowest possible cost of living and become a bartender or something equally undemanding.

- jarboot 10y agoBartending is more demanding than you would think.
- remyp 10y agoAlmost certainly, but usually the schedule is flexible enough that I could just work fewer shifts if it gets to be too much.

- IanDrake 10y agoJust having fun here, but: In a world where a skilled worker (such as yourself) resorts to that, who are your customers at the bar and how do they make money to pay their tab? And where is the robot bartender in this scenario?
- remyp 10y agoIt depends. If we're post-scarcity then my customers would be like the Ten Forward customers on the Enterprise and I'd get to wear a sweet hat like Whoopi. If not, then I assume they'd be like I am now: someone lucky enough to be able to take advantage of the current status of the labor marketplace. As for the robot bartender, I'd imagine myself working in a hipster bar that still uses human bartenders because it's simple, authentic, and people like that it's old-fashioned. We'll even have Edison bulbs.
- IanDrake 10y agoI literally made a scene laughing at this while sitting in a hipster cafe complete with Edison light bulbs.
- RileyKyeden 10y agoHow many lights are there?
- IanDrake 10y agoJust six. Is that enough for what you had in mind?
