    There are folks who argue the fear of A.I. taking away all these jobs is overblown. But no question technology will continue to advance and changes in the workplace will continue as a result.

    Young (younger) kids today have grown up in such a tech enabled world this is all they know. For older folks getting displaced, prayers sent.

    Yes. That's the Problem. "I want to be (putting fingers in cheeks) a 'Nice Person'". So much EASIER being a 'Nice Person', than doing what needs to be done.

    I believe that is an inaccurate assessment. First of all, I said nothing about being a nice person. Being nice is one thing. Doing the right thing is another. They do not always coincide.

    Sometimes it is unpopular and not nice to do the right thing. But it is better if the right thing is done.
    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

He said that both blue collar and white collar professions will be affected, but he believes those who drive for a living could be most affected.

    “Chauffeurs, truck drivers, anyone who does driving for a living—their jobs will be disrupted more in the 15-25 year time frame,” he said in the interview. “Many jobs that seem a little bit complex, chef, waiter, a lot of things will become automated.”

    the guys on assembly lines that were replaced by robots putting nuts on bolts are all of a sudden gonna cure cancer? I dont think so. Remember alot of the drunk boomers that were replaced by robots are useless.

    And yet, unemployment today is at record lows, especially for minorities.

    PoliTalker: I'm in charge of a Lifeboat. The Capacity is 10 persons. There are 3 people in the water, I pick them up because "It's the right thing to do".
    Jack: Wow. Did the Lifeboat sink killing everybody?
    PoliTalker: Yes. "Sometimes it is unpopular and not nice to do the right thing. But it is better if the right thing is done."

    I'm guessing the original 10 people that were relying on you disagree?
