10 years ago, when I was teaching Net+ / A+ Certification and general computer classes, I used to tell my students that, at some point, one wouldn't even be able to get a job digging ditches, unless they knew how to run the computers that would run the ditch digging robots. Welcome to the future!

Conservatives who think every consideration necessary is only about “capitalism” are refusing to admit that we are in a point of creative destruction not seen in previous “industrial revolutions”, which is the destruction of jobs by technology advancement is now greater than how many new jobs it is creating, directly and indirectly combined. It would be fine if the population was in a free fall decline, but it’s not.
