Quote:Class warfare doesn't work. All jobs are not created equal, does it suck that you could once make a living in a factory and now you can't damn straight. Does it mean that's the fault of the CEO? That's to easy.

 

It's supply and demand, when the wages demanded out grew the benefit it's natural for employers to find alternatives. That cost reduction is why you have such low cost on the consumer end but it's easy to demonize the company making that possible.

 

Bottom line without the unions and heavy regulated market employers wouldn't be seeking alternatives as aggressively.

 

We are each responsible for our own, some will fail that's the cycle of life.

 

And demand will decrease when people lose their jobs to Robots, and aren't buying stuff anymore.  Because you know... when you don't have money, you can't spend it. And when they don't spend, the people who usually get their money are having their profits dropped too. 

 

Don't think it's just limited to unskilled workers either!  skilled workers will soon be replaced by Robots as well.  Because it's cheaper for companies to pay a robot who doesn't sleep, take sick days, and everything else, than it will be to pay a person to do the same job in thrice the time.


Your solution sounds so simple.  Just train them in a skill!  Phew.  That's easy enough.  Now if only we didn't already have a problem of there not being enough jobs for skilled workers already   (And again, before long those skilled jobs will be filled by Robots too!)


Eventually we'll get to the point where nobody works, because everybody instead gets a government allotment to spend every month.  Because there will be no jobs.  The Robots will have taken most of them.  That will in turn create a very lazy society.
