No problem. Those 3 million Truck drivers will just become programmers and mechanics for the robot cars. Because those don't exist right now.

Yeah whoops, forgot about that. It's completely feasible for the vast majority of the human population to be scientists and programmers.

 

Wait...

No offence but I'll take the Invisible Hand over a socialist's crystal ball and tarot cards.

Totally automations fault. That cliff edge in 07/08 has nothing to do with the financial collapse.

Not really, their is a stabilisation in 70's/80's/90's after it always went up. the financial collapse was 10 years ago and we still are so much lower.

All I am saying is not coming from socialist sources in contrary, in 2009 democrats/replubicans alike were saying that the participation rate will go up and automation will do nothing harmfull wise but they were wrong.  Also I never posted that we needed an universal basic income but we need to discuss about what we can do in an what if scenario.

I only see the facts.  We are not in a recession for multiple years 5-7 years? and normally the participation rate would go up but it didn't so what's going to happen in the next recession? 

You need to stop being robophobic. Sure some may cause harm due to their programming but the vast majority are hard working and massively contribute to the well being of our society, they just want a better life for themselves and their family human beings.
