RE: America Is Unprepared For The Coming Jobs Apocalypse

in #basicincome6 years ago

this is so overstated.
Technology always creates more jobs than it replaces.

This issue in America is not jobs but education. The current education system is designed to create workers for the current crop of large corporations.

People need to avoid this trap and create skills that are needed in there communities.

UBI is a socialist dream.

If you want UBI go to your parents, grandparents and ask them why they did not save and invest money so you could have UBI off of the interest.

If you want UBI for yourself and your children, than start saving and investing. Crypto is good for this, but don't blame technology and advancements for needing it.

Sort:  

There are a couple differing opinions going on that you bring up. What metric and technology do you reference that it always creates more jobs then it replaces?

I one hundred percent agree that it is an educational issue, we have kids coming out of college with massive amounts of debt with a BA or masters still waiting tables. Our current economic theory puts to much risk on these 18-20 year olds on knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives as far as a career.

UBI as a socialist dream is an obsolete statement, UBI is not a political argument or debate.

Thats the beauty of this technology it can empower all of humanity just because they are alive, people have value. No blaming is going on here, just possible solutions. Oo and its participatory so no one is forced, they can join the network now or in 10 years, the train is moving with or without you.
