Jeebus folks!
This is not about the USA. This is about the vast majority of the mankind that lives on developing countries, vast armies of people already under the threat of food insecurity in the best of times, now unemployed and facing the threat of food inflation.
This is the stuff that create coup d'etats, dictatorships, rampant crime and wars.
Meanwhile you're working on automating work to make this people even more unemployable, and have the nerve to complain about a small food price increase in the frigging US of A.
- phendrenad2 6y agoWho's making it about the USA? The article is clearly about the world. Food scarcity hits people in developed countries too, especially the US where there's no safety net against homelessness if you're unfit to work. That "small price increase in the friggin US of A" is a big deal to people below the poverty line. There's always someone poorer in the world, it's just weird to draw a line in the sand and say "you must be this malnourished to speak up". As for automating work, how far back should we go? Should people be forced to abandon their cars because having horse-drawn chariots employed more people?
