[quote:Anonymous Coward 1518033:MV8yMTM3NTM3XzM2MDk4MTU1XzRGQThGOTQ2] [quote:niphtrique:MV8yMTM3NTM3XzM2MDk4MTI5Xzk1RjIzQUE=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1518033:MV8yMTM3NTM3XzM2MDk3ODEyX0UyMTI4MjM4] $9.00 per hour in every U.S. state will help the economy and help taxes for a bit. But it still doesn't change the fact that manufacturing robots are replacing human workers and there just isn't enough work for everyone to have a full-time job. Another thing we can try is to force everyone to work 3 to 4 days a week, or 4 to 6 hours 5 days a week. Imagine working for $9.00 an hour 3 days a week. You'll be poor, but at least your neighbors will also have the same job you do during different shifts. [/quote] The problem is, if you replace workers with robots, nobody has money to buy the products robots make. The same problem you can see when playing monopoly. When capital is built, masses end up poor, nobody can pay the rent, the game ends and the capital is destroyed. Karl Marx argued that labour is exploited. Somehow he must be right, but Communism didn't work either. [/quote] Communism is an abandoned ideal. German Socialism works. It will be the dominant government. And robots will replace most jobs. If you can think of a job where a human person is better, then that is the job that will last well into the future. Even construction jobs will be replaced in our lifetime by robots. [/quote]
