This is lying about what I said, since I said nothing of the sort, and you know it.

Decades ago people like you were lamenting the passing of buggy whips. Has unemployment increased since then?
I mean, I think a GND is going to provide a lot of work for a long, long time. There's a ton of stuff that needs to get done and it will take decades to do it all.

I didn't say you said that. I'm saying that it's how you are. The real reason you don't want to admit that you're Christian is because you don't follow your own religion, because you know it's not real.
Since the GND is a meaningless proposal, logic dictates that any jobs for it's purpose are meaningless.
"For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: 'The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.'" - 2 Thessalonians 3:10
Not feeding those unwilling to work is perfectly in line with Christianity.

The thing is, automation is accomplishing those same things quicker. Even jobs that still require lots of people now require less people because of computers, the internet, and machines that can do manual tasks.
Does it give handjobs?
Remarkable, yes. Surprising, no.

I literally just said that automation isn't a bad thing.
The buggy whip is a bad example because it was replaced with something that still involved jobs. What's happening now is that things are being replaced with other things that require less jobs.
Someone has to repair and maintain the machines.

The buggy whip is a perfect example because cars made us more efficient at moving about. For a farmer to get to town for supplies it takes, say, an hour and it used to take all day. Does that mean he makes the trip then sits on his ass watching Oprah for 7 hours?
Do you see where this leads, or do I have to explain further?
Left wingers put those things in place and believe that businesses aren't going to take it.
Isn't that what lefties believed with Obamacare? I guess that's why businesses that could cut to below 50 employees and 30 hours/week.
Walt will likely want a machine to wash his hands for him.
I don't care whether or not someone works. I wouldn't force them to do so. However, I wouldn't provide them with things that come to those that do work.
I mean, how much automation can there really be in the next couple decades when it comes to rebuilding our infrastructure, replacing our electrical grid, cleaning up the environment, nationwide broadband access, weatherproofing buildings, etc.? I think there will probably be some automation, but by and large, this is going to require people power.
