[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Job loss due to automation has been predicted since the start of the industrial revolution.  We haven't seen mass unemployment yet.  I'll believe it when I see it.  Jobs will change, but there will be jobs.[/quote]

My thoughts exactly.

As an aside, it is great to see young people deciding not to go to college and learning a trade instead - auto mechanic, plumbing, carpentry, welding......all jobs that pay well and will be around for some time to come.  [/quote]

Unless no one has money to hire these trades people because they lost thier jobs. I guess trades people can work for trades people, but at lower rates because more carpenters than needed?[/quote]

Yes, it’s going to be very bad for everyone. And Trump isn’t doing ANYTHING to prepare us. [/quote]

I’ll be just fine. My profession can’t be automated or done by a robot.

A lot of people on this forum are probably f**ked tho. [/quote]
My job also can’t be automated but living in a country with huge levels of unemployment doesn’t sound like fun tho? Increased crime, collapsing infrastructure, failing public schools, strained hospitals, food lines.  Even if you don’t care about your fellow countrymen, it will suck for all of us unless you are very, very wealthy. [/quote]
