IMO, the GM announcement will cause the SocSec to be lowered to 40yrs of age soon.

40yrs with a minimum of basic living and training or shops that lend out tools to keep people busy and from killing each other.

1. Have you been reading

Homo Deus?

3. I've been pushing this for a while, could not get anyone to mention this before

the election, now it sounds like the DNC pushing just jobs is no longer enough.

The "Gig" industry is coming fast and everyone is not ready.

2. Your Os get nuttier and nuttier. Totally bonkers now. Can't wait to see where they go from here.

[Adrahil]

4. What do you mean by soon?

'Cause I can't see anything like that happening in MY lifetime.

5. Did you think last week GM would close all plants and switch too

electric cars built completely by automation. The handle jobs will be janitors.

[Adrahil]

6. I think we all see automated factories coming....

And yes, it will require something like UBI in the future. But it ain't happening any time soon.

[MLAA]

7. I expect we will have destroyed our planet before full automation kicks in. And I expect

this type automation to happen soon 🤔

[Adrahil]

8. You're probably not wrong. Domed cities on the way. NT

9. If you are close to 40 learn Glass Blower or welding to beat automation.

Next GM pensions will be turned over to the government who will take about 10%

10. Not to worry, we'll all be employed racking forest floors.

A side industry of that will be compacting all the debris into burn in our homeless shelters because no one will be able to afford a home or apartment from the wages one gets from raking fucking forest floors.
