Economics 101.
Robotics....get rid of the fat twerking ass, can speak any known language employees...
Once upon a time it was an Industrial/Manufacturing Economy... and the unions (admittedly with management help) closed the steel mills.
The Industrial/Manufacturing Economy was replaced with a “Services Based” Economy... and here, again... Labor is destroying that.
Back in 2001, the day before the twin towers came down before my eyes, my Sociology professor at Rutgers Newark made the now creepy premonition that the next economy will be “Security-Based”...
And there ya are.
What comes next? Complete economic colapse and a return to an Agrarian Economy? I am waiting for rapture, myself.
