McDonald's unveils first automated location, social media worried it will cut 'millions' of jobs

[EvilCat Breath]

Not at all, I am saying that at some point in the future we will run out of "replacement" jobs for those displaced by technology.

This is an interesting read on what some see coming.

Your answer is to remain backward to give the garbage patch something to do,

They certainly do. When I was a youth, I tried to get into the steelworkers unions when I heard how much they got paid. You had to know someone and be connected, otherwise they told you to fuck off.

The idea was to keep the supply of "unionized" workers limited, so if a joint wanted to be union they had to pay.

The members of the union also paid, in dues for all and for some bribes to Union reps so that they would be picked for jobs. The union, by being willing to use violence, made itself into an auxiliary government, enforcing its will on, and extracting money from, both the laborers and the capitalists.

And you have been told that automating all the jobs will lead to a Universal Basic Income.

In effect, we have the "benefit" of a Universal Basic Income now, though not an actual UBI. It takes the form of a government guaranteed safety net. If you lose your job, you get unemployment. If your unemployment runs out, you get welfare. Everyone gets a check, but they have to either work for it or show that they are unable to work for it. Enforcement of the requirement is pretty lax, but you have to go through the motions.

No one is starving and homeless in the U.S. due to lack of available funds. The homeless in the United States are universally addicts and mental patients. Neither is forced off the streets and into treatment by the U.S. government as is done in other countries. That's why we have homeless in numbers unseen in other first world countries.

In third world socialist countries you do see homeless and they are homeless because they are too poor to afford both housing and food, and their government is unable or unwilling to help them. It's a mistake not to see the economic difference between the two.

But replacing or supplementing welfare with a non-needs based UBI would be a big mistake. Money will lose its value if everyone gets a significant amount of it every month for doing absolutely nothing but being part of the Universe.

So I can explain what I mean, what amount per month did you have in mind for a universal income, in today's dollars?

I have no idea what amount will be decided. It will be largely determined when it finally happens.

We've simply printed money for years. Has it devalued money? Yes.

I asking what you think would be an amount that would provide the benefit that you expect from a Universal Basic Income.

Or do you mean that it will happen, not that you think it should happen?

I think we should do other things but I understand we won't so it will be a UBI.

That is not my answer at all. Why bother replying if all you are going to do is lie about what I said?

Getting rid of unions has been in the works for a long time. Once they're all gone, workers can really take it on the chin.

As soon as there is a need for unions they will resurface.
