Older folks?
NOBODY has adjusted well to it.
I'm 82 and can use all the devises around.
But essentially we have developed WILLING SLAVES in the billions (machines, robots and computers) to help us do the work that has to be done...
...and yet humans are working harder to obtain less.
IT MAKES NO SENSE.
Why is this the state of affairs?
Why, with all the mechanical slaves we have to help us do the work that needs doing...are we humans all working so hard?
(I think I know why.)

"2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

Greed isn't new, is been around as long as man has. And the growth of technology has allowed for massive fortunes to be earned and made it harder for those who are older and less educated to keep up. We at things today like gays being able to get married and a black man being President and I'd say that shows a lot more concern for others than what we had in previous generations.
Correct.
We are going to have to ADAPT.
The notion that there will be enough decent paying jobs so that everyone can earn their living...is the first thing that has to go.
Out the door with that...ain't ever gonna happen again.
Then, after acknowledging that MOST PEOPLE are not going to be able to earn a living, we have to figure out what to do about that.
As I see it, mostly it will reduce to variations of two themes:
One: Allow most of the people to starve or freeze to death and be rid of them.
Two: Provide for the needs and wants of the people who do not work.
I understand there are many people here who would much prefer the former to the latter. The forum is dominated by the American conservatives...so that is a given.
