The US can be globally competitive , the US can be more prosperous than it ever has been . It only takes a little effort to discover what things are a hindrance to our economic situation . Whether we will as a nation prosper again rests solely in the hands of our populace . If they dig for their own information and form an opinion based on the information they've gathered , then we'll do allright . If they remain too lazy to form their own opinion , and keep relying on politicians and TV to form an opinion for them , we are screwed . As for robots , you can't program a robot to have free will .
Rather than raise pay , how about lower expenses ? We could start with 0 tax on corporations and small businesses , no fuel tax , no road use tax , no death tax , no windfall tax , no tax . Just a flat tax of say , 15% . Everybody plays , everybody pays . No fair tax , that's a shell and ball game , a con .

About 80% of them have already.
For instance if we made cars without robots it would take 10X the manpower to produce what we now produce.

yes everything is being pushed to robots. as usual the usa military is leading the technological push, currently to militarize the entire armed forces, but with everything else all this R&D trickles down to the private sector. if people think drones and killer military bees are bad wait until the entire army is robotic which will happen in most's peoples lifetime who are reading this.
I'm sorry, I can't tell if you're joking or not.
Robots only become feasible if they are doing something that makes many thousands or millions. Like cars.
If it's only a few hundred, then the time it takes to program the robot and verify it's doing the task correctly, you could have the job already finished. So robots are limited.

not joking. I have seen a bunch of places that say it costs 1mil per year to send a troop to iraq. don't you think a mass produced robot would be cost much less than that, be easier to replace, etc?
they will be really screwed in the next 20-50 years as they are replaced by robots
Not just factory workers, either.
Eventually you'll be initially screened at the hospital by a computer program, too.
There is almost nothing that people can do that sooner or later a robot or computer program won't be able to do better and or cheaper.
And you know what that really means?
The end of capitalism as we know it.
Seriously, you cannot have capitalism when 80% or more of the population isn't employable because tecnology is doing the jobs they once did.
And no, this problem we're just now beginning to face is magnitudes larger in terms of disrupting our labor patterns than the industrial revolution ever was.
Because in that revolution, farming help went to work in factories. They STILL had jobs.
In the technolgical revolution, factory workers (and the mangament which once oversaw their work) and highly skilled workers (like Doctors, lawyers, and other professional INCLUDING SOFTWARE ENGINEERS) are going to find that they cannot compete with technology, and AI pprograms either.
Then how does our economic system work?
Do we continue to only reward those elements of our society who OWN the technology?
And who will be the consumers buying all this techologically made wealth when nobody has a job to make the money to buy it all, anyway?
Remember now, this problem is aleady starting to include highly educated people whose jobs are better done by machines and programs.
Should we let the majority of the society starve?
Our technology is going to change our economic system, folks.
Count on that.
And the transition from industrial capitalism to technology capitalism isn't going to be easy on the MAJORITY of us regardless of how well we educate ourselves.
(sorry..cannot get the quote function to work)
As we can now plainly see thanls to Youtube and the rest of the internet, creativity in humans isn't all that rare.
We can see people who are amazinginly talented who will never make any money for their talents.
So even assuming we are all Michelanglo's, our creativity doesn't amount to a hill of beans as far as making a living.
We're either going to change the way we reward people, or we're going to end up with a huge percentage of the population who cannot find work that they can do, that anybody will pay them to do.
Those of you who are sitting back thinking your skills are so special that they cannot be done by AI programs and or robots are in for a BIG SHOCK.
That is EXACTLY what skilled industrial machninists used to tell me, too. That their jobs reqired so much training and experience that they could never be replaced, either.
They are mostly now unemployed, (well many of them are retired, but nobody replaced them at the lathes, either) working at McJobs and trying to cope with their losses in incomes.

If he cannot, his job is secure.
If he can, we ought to be welcoming our robot overlords.

Yeah and it coud distinguish between enemy and friend?
It could als be reprogrammed to kill us.
Kinda like teabaggers.
Wally World stocks more cheap stuff than just about anyone else. Most of the crap is made off shore in Asia, or some other place where they can realize the highest profits. But, I don't hear the masses bitching about the lack of jobs. Most Americans are just to dumb to realize that their way of life is going to be changing for the worse and we are barely seeing the results of their apathy. Until Americans can stem the flow of US greenbacks down, and slow the tide of cheap off shore junk coming in, having Hamburger Helper may start to seem like a celebration.
I suspect we are going to see the standard of living, for blue collar workers, to plummet even deeper. In the meantime, these BCWs will stop at Wally Workd for a new Chinese flat screen so that they can look at their REALITY shows, basketball tournaments, etc at 1080p.
Wonderful.

I'm no real fan of Walmart, but their marketing strategy is not to make the MOST PROFIT as let's say the oil companies....

see my posts... it will only be high end/high education science and engineering jobs left.
