Really? That is what they said 100 years ago when we transition from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy. They were wrong.
Maybe we should have people dig holes and fill them up again? Is that what you propose?
Agrarian and industrial both required many people to complete the jobs at hand. While technology requires highly educated people, it requires less people overall. How many offices have you been in where groups of employees perform useless or redundant tasks? I’m most certainly not on Obama’s or any union’s side, I’m just stating what I think will happen. If too many are on the dole or unemployed, our economy will stink. People will vote for free shit. Cheap Chinese crap isn’t worth the long term result. “Free trade” isn’t free. The USA’s quality of life will decline. Do you disagree?
