Companies don't want workers anymore. They're trying to automate everyone out of a job as soon as possible and don't make a secret of it. Who wants to work at a place where there is no future for humans?
- thenoblesunfish 4y agoI'd like the next Twitter thread to be people saying this, starting with the invention of the windmill or the domestication of the horse. (I agree that economic stability for people is a huge problem and that things move quickly, today, but to say that automation is the root cause is oversimplified(.
- labrador 4y agoI'm not saying workers are against automation. They can see the hand writing on the wall, that's all. Now they want to be coders. They see the future is to be in charge of the automation.
- imtringued 4y agoOk but if nobody has to work why aren't we better off? Isn't it strange that humans fear every day that they keep getting more and more for less and less until they get everything for nothing? Isn't it strange that the opportunity cost of giving away unneeded capital financial or physical never disappears?
- labrador 4y agoI didn't say no one has to work. I'm saying maybe people don't want to devote themselves to jobs that are in the process of being automated away. I'm saying people are rational actors and are choosing not to work those jobs so they can retrain themselves for a more sustainable job.
