[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2694587, member: 60252"] Automation is going to kill a lot more jobs in the near future. AI is coming faster than most know too. We obviously don't need all the potential workers we have now. In less than years, we have the alignment of all the boomers retiring, and all the echo boomers going into a declining job market, with all the new retirees not only needing medicare, but all the unemployed needing medicaid. When benefits need to be cut to keep the country solvent, and a hundred million more are pushed below the poverty line, we will have real trouble. Some of the more expansive thinkers are already suggesting that we just give everyone a minimum guaranteed income of $11,000 or more, enough for beer and cable TV, as a cheaper way to solve the problem. That would encourage those who can't or don't want to work to form pools or communes to pool resources. I can even see corporations fighting to sponsor communes for a % of the $11,000 per person similar to how medicare advantage provides services to those entitled to medicare. [/QUOTE]
