RE: Future Of Jobs

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

All garbage inventions, thought up only to make a buck, come from the miracle of free market competition. Who wants to make money makes a product that has to be replaced sooner rather than later. Who wants to make money lays off workers to replace them with robots that never get sick, never complain, never miss a day and don't go on strike, with no regards whatsoever for the laid off humans. I could go on, but you already see that it's the economy, and only the economy that makes us fear the automated future. Contrary to what many want you to believe, the economy is man-made and not some law of nature. If it's made by us, it can be changed by us. And the first thing we have to realize fast, is that it's ri-di-cu-lous to hang on to an economy in which the only way to have a right to exist is to have a job, when we KNOW that most jobs will be obsolete some day soon. It's high time to re-think capitalism. Not to put a band-aid on its many wounds, not to let the rich get away with giving us some crumbs in the form of a UBI or anything like that, but really make some fundamental changes in the way we think about the economy.

Dear @zyx066 !
Your argument is certainly attractive in the present reality where the limitations of Western capitalism are revealed!

My comrade!
By the way, What other ideas do you think can restore the limitations of Western capitalism?
From my point of view, I remember you pointed out the problems but never said the solutions!😄
