[QUOTE="Conk, post: 3296785, member: 69466"] The truth is you're probably not industry 4.0 ready but we'll find a fake job for you while we upgrade. As stated 50 years ago by someone famous I forget, only 20% of the population actually needs to 'work' as in for-income or nowadays; is capable of productivity. 80% of the population is useless for making profits. We've been inventing busy-work jobs since 50 years ago, but it's no longer working. There is of course, an endless amount of work to be done. The entire problem is employing people to do it effectively. Children need to be raised, need better parenting (hint, hint). Litter needs to be cleaned up. There's plenty of work to do that simply isn't profitable or doesn't generate money at all. Socialism was the first answer to this, unfortunately, socialism was hijacked by people of a certain group such as Marx and Trotsky to serve their own political ideals and has basically been that way ever since. Socialism was perfected and used long ago, just nobody pasted an -ism on it and used it for political mischief. Anyway, regarding automation -- you lost that battle a long time ago. Your job is artificially preserved. It's designed to be inefficient. This is the basis of a basic income; give everyone $2000/mo so they can survive, encourage them to volunteer and etc, and let the capable 20% work the 'jobs' or actually; something productive they already wanted to do for free... but they have to pay the bills, support the family, etc. The 80% doesn't understand this but there are people who love to work and work well, not even for money, simply money is necessary. Yet the current system encourages people to lie and cheat into a position they hate for the money, while the best candidate is shunned as they didn't major in bull:censored:ting. [/QUOTE]
