Is this Yang’s way of saying we should share our wealth with every country too stupid to produce rather than war?
“Is this Yang’s way of saying we should share our wealth with every country too stupid to produce rather than war?”
Yes and no, mainly yes.
Yang has a good point about jobs being lost to automation. This is the real reason to limit immigration. There is simply not going to be work for unskilled illiterate workers. In another 15 to 20 years fams will be completely automated. Medical care is going to be computerized perhaps sooner than that.
Unlike previous phases of the industrial revolution, the coming phase will not create jobs.
His question is a good one. How are people going to live if there is nothing they can do that a machine cannot do better and cheaper?
I disagree with a lot of his answers but he is asking the right questions.
