All the skills in the world.ain't gonna feed 300 million people of a product isn't being PRODUCED AND CREATED in America. All IT workers do now is manage foreign software and hardware. They just shift managers in the age of automation and globalization.
I've mentioned this several times in threads about fast food workers being replaced by machines for asking for $15 per hour. One, those machines have been in development since minimum wage was $5.15 an hour and they will replace those low skilled workers whether they make the current $7.25 or $15. Two, the Coli middle class and STEM workers feel as if their skillset can never be replaced by technology because their job is highly technical and complex. So was operating a steam locomotive. I'm sure the men working on the railroads in the 20s could never imagine five and six man train crews going down to two and now railroads are lobbying for ONE MAN CREWS. The death of the steam locomotive allowed for a HUGE reduction in demand for highly skilled labor across a wide variety of railroad related fields. These were decent to high paying jobs wiped out by technology people couldn't see coming 20-30 years down the line. It's not only low skilled labor you can look down on that will be affected.
Let them ignore that and be shocked that they gonna get their precious STEM careers destroyed in the process.

I believe there should be a universal income for all but there should still be investment and capital... People should be allowed to make good or bad investments on their income. We need to have innovation in our society and the innovators need to be rewarded.
The income should be tied to the level of automation in society.

but that makes too much sense though
and it's such a simple idea...how could it ever work?

People will innovate no matter what, it's never been about the reward.

The wealthy have generally been spiritually retarded as a result of their means of becoming rich, aka oppressing people. Finding your place as a part of the whole instead of an island in the world is part of what I'm classifying as basic needs.

Government Population Control coming soonIn spite of this people will still continue optimistically breeding and bringing children into the world that they can't afford.
Government Population Control coming soon
It's inevitable and people are too blind to see it coming, I tried to propose a solution that would give people the power to choose to be more responsible with their reproductive organs and people disagree. In my opinion, there will be forced sterilization by the government in the future and based on what I've observed in people's attitudes, I don't even care anymore.
I strongly disagree. First off automation is expensive as shyt. Like tens of millions expensive. This isn't even getting into AI.
Secondly there are a lot of jobs where it isn't economically beneficial to automate when you can hire a few guys for 10 bucks an hour.
Not every business has 100+ millions sitting around to build automated AI systems. Small businesses can't afford that aND a lot of times their assets aren't money but real estate and equipment. That's not something you can withdraw from a bank.
