    It's more about a technological revolution in progress. The same thing happened with the early decades, even the first century, of the Industrial Revolution. It upended society and how things were organized. Well, we are now about 50 to 100 years depending on where you want to start from into the Electronics Revolution. The Ancient era and the Renaissance didn't upend society like the the Industrial and Electronics Revolution have.

    This is the first time in human history we haven't had need for masses of workers doing, well, just about anything. We have a massive surplus of people in developed nations that are for all intents nearly useless. The Left seeks old solutions to this problem from the now dead and gone Industrial Revolution. We no longer have regular wars or even frequent plagues and epidemics (yea, we're having one right now but it will be remarkably sort compared to historical ones that ran on for decades and even centuries). That just exacerbates the problem of what to do with all the surplus people who are not technically literate enough to get high paying, productive jobs in a world where strong backs and weak minds are no longer needed.

    For those who can do such jobs, they get good pay and benefits. For those that can't, they must compete for a dwindling number of jobs that are basic labor or require few skills. The Left in seeking a "living wage" for such person is only driving the process of eliminating those jobs forward faster. The model that arose during the Industrial Revolution is no longer valid. What we need is a new model that will make it possible for more people to be useful in the Electronics Age.

    so you admit it's structural and not "laziness".

    what's that model look like?

    or are you just bullshitting until they kill half the people?

    There's some degree of laziness involved too. Socialism produces that. Generational welfare. People who think they're better off on food stamps, welfare, etc., than getting a job.

    what's that model look like?

    I don't know for sure. I'd be guessing at best. It'd be like someone in the 17th Century trying to predict what the late 19th Century or early 20th would look like. What I do know is that the idea you can get a good paying job doing some repetitive, maybe even somewhat complex, task all day long is mostly dead and gone. The world doesn't need masses of factory workers for many tasks anymore.

    This



    Has become this:



    As it stands, only about a third of the population is really cut out to achieve a college degree. Sorry, but I don't have a good answer for what will happen or how society will change to this, but it's going to have to happen and it will revolutionize how human society is organized and operates as much or more than the Industrial Revolution did.

In the US we have a large portion of our population that is functionally illiterate. These are people who can't make complete sentences, misuse words, or otherwise mangle English. Many are high school and even college graduates.



    From a resume help site...

    Ah. An elitist I see. I dropped out of high school in my third year with three years worth of credits to make up for. And I can guarantee you that intellectually, you are a WORM compared to me. Less than a worm. More along the lines of some sort of fungus. Also there is a song out there by Kansas called, "Sparks of the tempest." One of the lyrics in it says, "The less that you know the more you fall into place." Trouble is, it works both ways. Most often, the more that you know the more you fall into place. Because people with a degree probably worked pretty hard to get it. And these days sure as hell spent enough for it. And most probably make a pretty good living at what they were trained to do. All of this makes them less likely to rock the boat. And all of the bullshit college, the government and the media inflicts on them, they are most likely to follow the herd and accept it without question. The delusional scum. The worthless, vile filth. Even fungus are superior to them. At least fungus performs a useful function in the ecological system. But because of humans, I doubt if most of the life on earth will see the year 2050.

    As for working, I worked my ass off. As a laborer. You know. The type of person who does the things that give you the ability to live the life you do. Which apparently to all you elitist piles of dog shit is pretty damned unimportant. You delusional fucks. In my state, there just weren't any jobs to be had. So I worked in many other states. Where my efforts were equally worthless. Not enough to get by on. And if you think that taking a bus across the country with only about $20.00 in my pocket was an easy thing to do, you are delusional. So you don't think I and everybody else isn't deserving of another $1200.00 stimulus check. That doesn't surprise me. You are probably in favor of this country letting in as many ugly, overpopulating, illegal scab scum mexicans as care to come here. Because they won't care as much about getting paid shit. And you are probably in favor of us exporting most of our manufacturing jobs to slave wage countries like China. It is because of people like you that whenever I hear of a mass killer on the news, I am happy. Because all of you worthless fuckfaces deserve to die. In fact, I wish that you could die more than once.
