Being a Luddite implies that someone is against automation. Being against offshoring of manufacturing to the 3rd does NOT make one a Luddite. With automation the job disappears, with offshoring the job gets transferred but not destroyed. See the difference?
Job loses to offshoring and job loses to global labor arbitrage are totally different beasts altogether.

Keen says that globalization will be affected quite dramatically by the imposition of trade tariffs. Also, technological advances mean that the advantage of low wage economies are being reduced. Foxconn, for example, is spending a large amount of money to replace its own labour with robots right now. Universal Basic Income will be the obvious future.

Universal Basic Income will be the obvious future.
Any logical thoughts on the above. A strong argument as much as I don’t like it.
Heinlein quote: The best thing about the future was that it was unknown. Cassandra’s one good quality was that she was never believed.

That is what we have been told it means. That is why I encouraged some historical reading.

I don’t like liberalism and I don’t like globalist technocrats. We ended up with both powerful groups dominating our Nation and the world. It was time for a bomb.

When you pull the pin, you are taking a risk. That’s life if you want change.
