There was a payroll tax reduction last year, but the non-elite, the regular folks did NOT spend it as anticipated. They saved when they could, they paid down debt, bought some specific classes of items (survival stuff for one).
But you castigate business for not spending, you want them to hire people for whom there is no work. Or should they stock warehouses until full, then build more?
I dare you to hire a plumber, have him come to your house, pay him a day's pay, and have no plumbimg projects for him to work on. That is the logic of business ot hiring, there is no need for labor right now.
DUH
Quoting: Real list So, what happens when robots take over the production formerly done by human labor? I think we are seeing what happens, and the current model isn't going to cut it in the future. Need a new model. "Labor is prior to and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." A Lincoln again you revert to a future that may or may not materialize. Did you not just talk about the fragility of our modern world and how we need to become MORE self sufficient? Robot or homesteads...please choose one side of the debate or the other, stop trying to have the best of both worlds.
