>Are you generalizing across all "young people"? Or are you assuming what I mean? I was not trying to argue that we as a society, and especially as individuals, shouldn't help the displaced. What I have a problem with is the essentially Communist rhetoric we are using to justify removal from and placement in jobs. I think we are on the same page. I was just saying that if we are moving towards automation and the corporations are going to push for it, policies should be in place beforehand to help those displaced. Specifically from the profits of that automation. Not even the tax payers. Then as the whole industry shifts, the social services can be used to compensate whole populations. I am not writing policies and I am definitely not an expert. But the conversation of automation and job removal should include compensation for those displaced. >I think the core issue is a fundamental lack of understanding on the part of the politician/person. Yes, I agree. And the rush to prove the other side wrong. Which is usually accompanied by extreme examples and unfounded rhetoric.
