There will be jobs - you just will be spending less time in them. 40 hour week is an ancient concept, we just have to find a mechanism to pay people.
I agree - no money = crime.
Like when you see a CEO gets paid about $300-500 an hour and working like 60-80 hours a week.
Give the average Joe $200 an hour for working 8 hours a week and he could have good lifestyle.
When Joe stays home most days and not drives to work - he will be more healthy, volunteering in his community - raise his children. He also needs a lot less money. Since he has time for fixing things around the house, cleaning etc. Needs only one car etc.
With less busy work Joe will be learning new skills, and is more likely to start a new business which further contributes to society.
Teddy Roosevelt gave you and I the 40 hour work week….. before that it did not exist. He also stopped child labor. I think the little germs should have to work. Damn kids. ????? Damn that Teddy Roosevelt. Hmmm reason we kept salary jobs VS hourly jobs. CEO are salary as is most management.
If I get paid same as you but I fold napkins all day and you shovel shit all day then will that be okay? What if I get paid more? Some ppl will shovel shit their entire life. Even at a lower wage especially if given job security with benefits. Some ppl will fold napkins their entire life with no benefits.
The salary CEO might in fact be the first replaced by robots as in AI. We may work for them. Can ppl claim robots are prejudiced aka racist? I can tell you from chatgpt that if you are white then are considered a racist…. Based on asking it how each race can improve itself …. Only white race is answered as responsible for fixing racism.… per chatgpt. I asked it previously for all but only did a short below. The USA is claimed as still white by majority and Christians by majority. That is changing. How is it that a Country with such a small comparative population has so much power and control in a World with 7-8 billion ppl? How can that be? Is it racist-racism? Is it because of slavery when all the rest of World had slavery to which some still do. Matter of fact we are financial slaves right now where we trade our labor and dedication best 1/3 of our lives to a corporation or business for an agreed amount.
Not sure how old you are but when manufacturing poured out of this country to make it green and cleaner….. we merely moved the pollution from here to where ever the manufacturing went and left a vacuum of no jobs. Crime rates went crazy. Product pricing went up for consumers. It really moved to a new slave market for more profits….. less regulations.
Our system is sorely strained for the middle class taking care of everyone. The rich pass the taxes to middle and lower classes that work. taxing the rich does not work and we see more inflation as a result of them passing the increased cost back down to consumers. The proposed $15 an hour jobs by the Left is really nothing gained with recent massive inflation cancelling it. You already know lack of funds causes crime. Ppl have become use to living at certain standards. If you add to it or stays the same then likely no problem. However if things go away or it does go down for standard of living then it will be bad. Especially if welfare is cut. You can take personal retirements - social security whatever but taking welfare causes things to burn and ppl to loot and murder. Look at South African riots and looting under guise of political protest. Most ppl losing their retirements and social security from working that put into the system will be to old to defend themselves…to old to work…. bring in covid and finish them. We become a Logans Run Society. Most ppl don’t know when they will die but what if they did and termination was guaranteed at a certain age and time ala Logans Run?
interesting video:
The economics and population reduction is evident in this video…. We Boomers were the highest point… growth declined aka self population reduction. We did not breed enough to keep the Ponzi scheme going. So it has to change.
Maybe robots will move in and restore order..to system… for our new age - but can future withstand an emp? To the point will robots - AI withstand emp. If you think foreign countries are going to watch an elevation around them with no advancements of kind for themselves then you will see massive illegal border crossings …. and even War. They will not silently shelter in place and die. World welfare.
Talking with AI is like arguing with the most race hating white person have ever seen. It says one thing then denies it stated what it said. I’m not sure why some self hating white ppl don’t just sacrifice themselves. Do the World a favor. We won’t need them. When robots programmed like chatgpt take over.… their programming will be confirmed. You can either see the chatgpt slant against whites or you can’t. It especially with answer 5 implies whites control everything. Slavery ended around 1865 in USA ….. at what point does that end…. 660,000 estimated ppl paid ultimate price. Whites fought whites. Everything is tied for change.
My opinion in the distant future you will not have to worry about owning a car or truck….. you might have to figure out how to live in a cave... and start a fire.
For right now:
A Ford Maverick plug hybrid is the best deal in my opinion for near future and will last maybe decade. If when make their plug hybrid it is suppose to be able travel 40-50 miles on pure electric. Then gas or combo….. as in both to recharge batteries.
As for Mazada the Wankel type rotary engines have always had problem with short starts and stops. The wankel type rotary needs a cycle run where it warms up and runs then cools down. Just cranking up pouring coal then shutting off has always caused mechanical problems. So don’t see it as a great development as intended to charge batteries. Unless they have truely improved the rotary engine.
“What is illogical is the way USA society is acting.” We are not the same USA from the 1950-1970s. We are not the same USA pre-2020. Things are worse and being forced…. Again.…. by politicians. The science is not true and flip flops to funding.. we should have develop electric in 1970’s and nuke power plants. Opec would be drinking their oil. No financial power in middle east …. Petro Dollar would never have been so strong. Petro dollar = USA dollar. Hmmmm…. Change best come with replacements that maintain the power.
