What makes you think jobs are coming back under Trump, if robots/automation/technology can replace it?

Automaton is the measure of progress of society
50p of Japan will be automated in t20
Go back to college or dig yourself a grave

robots can already replace any manual labor job. it's just a matter of the initial cost being to high to automate many jobs. but, if there is a job you want automated and you can throw enough money at it, it can be automated. 1 tech can maintain several robots. all i can say is, hinder automation any way you can. delay the inevitable as long as possible. once everything is automated, no need for about half of humanity... actually, 500k sounds about right, all the humans needed to run the planet once it's automated.

I would be surprised if Donald Trump can pull this off...for starters people need to understand the fundamental reasons why manufacturing left the US (and other western countries)...high corporate taxes is but ONE of the reasons - and arguably a lesser reason - the MAIN reasons are LOW WAGES, combined with LOW LEGISLATIVE COMPLIANCE COSTS.

Without these incentives, why would companies move their manufacturing from the likes of China, back to the US? It doesn't make sense.

The current incarnation of capitalism works on the lowest common denominator i.e. the lowest possible wages, and the least amount of legislative compliance. If your country doesn't exhibit these traits then you are relegated to a service based economy with niche manufacturing.

If anyone has read any of his books or joined Trump University they would know that Trump is all business and anti-job.



Basically jobs are for suckers.

McDonald’s Response to $15 Minimum Wage: Automation in Every Store

It’s official: McDonald’s says that every one of its 14,000 stores nationwide will be replacing cashiers with automated touch-screen kiosks. They’re starting with stores where minimum-wage laws mandate the highest rates, such as Florida, New York, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Seattle.

"Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper and better. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding will be less than $2 per hour, for example.

That's more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in the U.S., and even cheaper than the pay of skilled workers in the lowest-income countries.

Trump may be able to keep immigrants out, but how will he stop the advance of robots?"


"Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6.8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity, including manufacturing trucks, servicing trucks and other types of jobs."

Now think about what's related to truck industry, how about rest stops, restaurants, the hotels/motels, etc

He is going to fix the bullshit. Ever wonder why American automakers move out because they say they can't make it here. But Toyota, BMW, etc come here and they prosper. Someone is giving them incentives to stay and someone is getting paid to allow this to happen. While taking those same incentives away from American automakers. This is just one example, and my guess is it has something to do with free trade agreements like NAFTA.

This is what he says he intends to fix.

What does college have to do with it if there are no jobs? And you may as well dig yourself a grave with the amount of debt you have to go into now.

I hope you didn't go to college because you don't seem very smart.

There will be a huge drop off in jobs soon. Population reduction coming soon.

The only thing cheaper than third world labor is an American robot. Unfortunately, one American can manage 5 or 10 robots. Bringing jobs back to the U.S. for robots will keep the costs of products down, but really won't create any significant number of jobs.

We are on the road to a workerless society, where people will be paid dividends from automated industry, every citizen will be a stockholder.

bout fucking time

well then they better make robots that can take care of a population with nothing to do because there will be a whole lot of people loitering around

one thing that WILL end under trump is the minorities with authority act (unofficial of course)

in order to have a well rounded police department, fire department, post office, or school district we must promote substandard minorities above more deserving whites so we can better represent our community.

give me a fucking break

I worked as mechanical engineer with material handling system. Automation and robot are not as cost effective as you might think.
You can replace a 20,000 yr worker with robot but might cost you million dollar. Robot are not maintence free.

Robots that replace workers should be taxed as an employee and contribute to social security.

Then the next thing they will want is giving fucking robots Constitutional rights.

People throw rocks at this, but the only thing that will keep us going when machines do all the labor, is a Guaranteed Minimum Wage. For doing nothing. If you Can come up with a job or a skill that you can sell, you can add that income to your GMW.

Some jobs Must be performed by humans, so there will always be some jobs. I would ban Answering Machines and make that a human only job, for example. I would also ban foreign phone banks. No technical help from India or Pakistan. Make all foreign doctors go back to their countries and hire American or British doctors. Same with nurses.

I like that.

We're all just gonna have to whore each other out to one another and keep an underground economy rolling. That or whore ourselves out to the robots -- let them use your brain as extra server space and what not -- a live nearby storage device for them to clear out their harddrive on your face.

Why just them?

Russian doctor overlords incoming.
