| sc94597 said: Yes, certainly as more things become automated we'll see disruptive changes, but that total automation is still a long way off. People might become economically independent in that circumstance. I agree 100% about reducing spending. Maybe that is the one consistently good thing about Trump's economic rhetoric. He seems serious about reducing the debt level, but I am unsure what that means with Trump. Too many risks to go along with for that chance(protectionism and his issues with free speech being paramount.) If you've ever watched Milo Yiannopoulos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Yiannopoulos ) he is a big Trump supporter who happens to be gay and calls him "daddy." lol Anyway, his theory is that what makes Trump appealing isn't his policies but rather what he represents, a push against cultural progressivism and political correctness, almost symbolically so. For that reason Trump is more of a cultural symbol than a political one. I think he is quite accurate, as it seems many people who in the past were quite ideologically consistent forgive Trump's flip-flopping with ease, because they like him and what he represents, and how he represents it. |
We don't need to wait for total automation, we only need enough of it so that we can drive import costs down ...
In fact it has already begun ...
I agree with you that Donald Trump represents the best parts about the anti-PC movement ...
