Go back to watching the Oprah Show, Willie, until you formulate a rationale of your own on how we will deal with surplus workers in a high tech world. -- Can you even address the problem?

Uh, in idealized economic model, greater technology for production creates more jobs. Someone is needed to design, produce, and maintain the machines.
But Outsourcing to competing labor sources merely destroys the employment opportunities for domestic labor. This production diversion can have catastrophic effects on the U.S. economy in the long run. The negative multipliers for a national economy of outsourcing is non-debatable.

"in an idealized economic model"?
Seems that neither you, nor willy, can address the real world problem.
How will we deal with surplus workers in a high tech world.?

At least when you do that, it's not quite so obvious that you're an idiot.

Brilliant reply willy. You've shown everyone here your own idiocy. Thanks.

What problem?
Do you mean your absurd contention that "it becomes cheaper to automate technology than to feed, clothe, & house the slaves."???
No tpaine, I will NOT address that "problem".
As usual, you've merely formulated an extremist fringe scenario that isn't gonna happen in the real world.
I'm not gonna waste my time with you by "debating" such silliness.

Whatever technology becomes so cheap to put slaves out of work merely increases the portion of the workforce that's in unemployed poverty, further dragging down the ones who are still managing to eek out a living. (Unless, of course, they starve to death first.)
