Breh outsourcing has done 90% of the damage.

Go to any black neighborhood in a large city and you can see what happened with outsourcing.

shyt go look at the southside of chicago, go look at gary indiana, go look at even jobs in the rural south.

Outsourcing already did the majority of the damage. Automation will just pick up the crumbs.

Outsourcing messed brothas out of those high paying factory jobs with benefits where they could support a wife and kids.

Automation gonna mess these brothas out of low paying minimum wage jobs where all they could do is help their mom or roomate pay lights and cable.

Trade professionals need to look at government contracting. It’s the opposite of welfare for real. They allocate a certain percentage of money to minority owned business, and look for the cheapest price possible. You can win a contract and hire who you want. If you can get a retired vet to front the business, even better. I mean of course it’s a process, but it can pay way more than minimum wage.

This. Government contracting and government jobs. They must hire so many minorities and must dish out contracts to so many minorities.

Also folks must realize it ain't automation kicking folks asses. Thats a buzzword....it is outsourcing.

But with government work very little is allowed to be outsourced.

This is by design and we already knew that. In other news, we need more black male teachers and certification requirements are pretty easy and most teacher training programs are paid for.

Also are there any investment resources for black first time business owners. It sounds prime time to start investing in our own economy.

This is real spit. There is a huge void in black male educators. So many schools especially in black areas can't even find enough black male teachers to fill the open positions they have.

what happens when those robots need maintenance :youngsabo:?

they'll get an educated individual to do the maintenance. This thread is more so about the section of workers (customer service, janitors, etc) who will likely be out of jobs soon once automation takes over. Those jobs won't be completely gone, but they will definitely decrease in numbers by a lot.

Those machines still need people to program and perform maintenance/troubleshooting. They still need people to build the machines and invent ways to make the machines more efficient. We can do that.

We will find a way. Notice how these articles always make us the unfortunate victim. Fukk alladat. We can't let them hold us down.
Yeah I hate defeatism in all forms. People been chronicling our hardships for centuries stuck in a deficit mindset instead of brainstorming solutions.
