I think people don't realize that it's not automization in itself, it's productivity. You don't need to fully automize labor, but you can cut it in half through the productivity gains it gives to the remaining workers. T

If you're a rural family, how will you bring groceries back for the month? What if you need to buy a new bed or sofa? What if you have to visit off the route, or it's just snowed and the collectivo owner doesn't want to bothe

The issue isn't really the wages. You get poor quality workers when you make the majority of them have to work a second job, since you don't give them full time hours or benefits. Retail often can have 100% turnover or more in th

No. If anything you have to radically desensitize the average person to be even able to commit violence, and in general when they can, people flee it. The whole point of boot camp and military training is to make sure the individual recruit
