Not to my original point it isn't. Not everyone is riding your train at the same speed Tux. In my view automation is a far more prescient problem than the financial armageddons that you predict. I've been listening to this record since 2009. The systems will alternate between boom and bust like they have always done....sometimes larger, sometimes smaller. When we have the next big downturn......That's when companies will look to shed jobs and really buy into automation. That's what is going to hurt......That requires solutions and universal basic income isn't on the agenda at the moment. Edited by Stirlingsays (19 Jun 2018 9.53pm) It is. You're just far too busy typing to ever bloody listen

That didn't happen after 2008 though did it, which surprised me, and particularly that employment was pretty much sustained. Well, yes it did, it's been happening slowly for a long time. However, the technology has taken significant steps forward in the last five years. The next significant downturn.....when companies look to cut jobs down to the bone.....that's when automation is going to become far more visible. For one example there are massive numbers of jobs in freight......and while you are going to need 'last mile' drivers the reality is jobs are going to be reduced significantly.....That technology is coming pretty soon. But it isn't just blue collar jobs. Lots of white collar jobs are going to go as well. Glad I could cheer you all up....I'm available for celebrations and party invites.

What jobs will still be around in 20 years? Genuinely 'people' jobs and jobs that require real 'creativity'. Essentially jobs where humans require another human being to have a connection to.....social worker. Also....somehow I don't think many people will be interested in watching music created by robots....They will want to follow human bands and artists. Anyway I don't think it will be quite as bad as....for example this article below predicts but I do think it's going to be major. A child under five now, simply isn't going to have the same job choices.

We can talk about universal basic income as a tool to mollify the population but in general.....a lot of young people with nothing to do doesn't tend to end well....especially young males. It's a natural state of being....idle hands and all that

You think the media is 'entirely right wing propaganda with a couple of self congratulatory left wing'? If you don't mind, how old are you? Perhaps this is a generational thing. I remember Sky News before it was detached from Murdoch. That could be called right wing but I'm genuinely struggling to think of right wing TV media. You have a few right wing papers but they have nothing like the same reach that TV news has. Not a problem, im 37.

I'll show you an example of the real modern day Sky News. A news piece from earlier this year on Antifa. A US domestic terrorism group. Lets see how they covered them shall we.

Unfortunately Pravda (truth) was closed down by Yeltsin in 1991. Any connection in the UK between the media and the truth is entirely coincidental.

Yep, it's great.....I see the points he's making, it's just cloaked in that Trump-like, 'I don't give a feck' non PC language. The only issue would be the Chinese comment.....Which Trump since clarified wasn't a compliment. Edited by Stirlingsays (25 Jun 2018 11.42am) I actually meant that someone bought the domain name and did that site.
