[PoliTalker]

a very small work week in hours

a guaranteed income that is a living wage

guaranteed health care

creative freedom for mankind


right now the growing sectors are the service industries


maintaining mankinds comfort


that is the future


idiots will hate it because they need to see people suffer to feel worthy

Hello evince,

Yes, creative freedom for humankind.

Now we just solve racism and we have the beginnings of a 'Star Trek' type society freed from the chains of earning a living, the greatest time-consumer of all by far. I am envious of dolphins, which are said to spend only about 15% of their time taking care of their needs (finding food, defending themselves.) The rest of their time is theirs to do as they please. When humans surpass dolphins on that front we will be truly superior beings.

As capitalism destroys the middle class, it also destroys families and family values. Family values can't survive with both parents working too many jobs and no time for family. Financial hardships do break up families, and it is slow torture.

The capitalist leaders, who can afford to have only one parent working, say it is just because the oppressed 'have poor family values.' Really it is the other way around. They have poor family values because of the financial stress placed on them by unregulated capitalism.

Hello cawacko,

Destruction of unions? You mean like giving people a choice if they want to join a union or not? Why is giving people a choice a bad thing?

Why is destroying unions a good thing?

Hello cawacko,



Why is destroying unions a good thing?

I said nothing about destroying unions. I said people should have a choice if they so desire regarding joining one. The reality is as we have moved from the industrial age to the information age the need for unions has become less.

people are sitting in nice air conditioned cubicles today in front of their computers as opposed to those working in dangerous factory conditions as so many did 70 years ago.

when the big energy monopolies stop preventing cheaper energy alternatives and cheap alternative energy sources become reality the standard of living of mankind will rise spectacularly. that is if pollution doesn't destroy mother earth first.

I bet there are a lot of Walmart workers who WISH they had things as nice as that.

Hi evince,

Well, the problem of AI displacing far more jobs than it creates is going to crash the economy and bankrupt the nation under the current system, so something does have to change. I believe that change is going to be something which will enrage some conservatives, but they'll just have to get over it, because it is inevitable.

It won't just be the USA, but we need to be one of the first to implement the fix, because we are advanced, and the problem will strike here early.

The solution is to tax the super-rich more and have a Universal Basic Income provided by the government for doing absolutely nothing.

Oh, conservatives will fight it tooth and nail, but their old established norms are not going to cut it in the world after AI. There just are not going to be enough jobs for everyone. How close are we to having driverless delivery vehicles? Imagine all the US Postal carriers, UPS drivers, Fedex drivers, OTR truck drivers, all of them out of work within a few year period of time. The economy just can't absorb that many unemployed. And that will only be the beginning, just the tip of the layoff iceberg. Our economic system will crash. But we are not going to let that happen. We are going to institute the Universal Basic Income.

who creates wealth? it's a chicken or egg argument.

Is there something from preventing them getting a job where they work at a desk behind a computer as opposed to on the floor of the store? (which is what I'm assuming you're referencing)
