"I am not working in a menial job I hate or at a company that treats me like a human drone."
Maybe a future where nobody has to do those things isn't a bad goal. We don't have ten year olds breaking coal in the mines any more, nor do we have a peasant/slave class whose masters can beat them with impunity.
"It is a complete fallacy that everyone can simply be retrained as a computer programmer when all the Driving Jobs, Fast Food Jobs, and Retail jobs are replaced by Robots"
Yes. So what do you propose we do about those people?
- syshum 9y agoI support either some kind of Basic Income, or Negative Income tax. I think that is what we "do about those people" I completely agree it will be a good day where you do not have people burning out their bodies in 40 years from working on the factory line then having to work another 25 years in pain because they can not afford to retire due to the low pay... The problem is, today we just simply tell these people "get a job you loser" and assume anyone that can find said job is simply too lazy to work With no basic income, and very limited welfare we have a massive problem today, that will grow exponentially in the coming decades unless we do something like Basic Income
