Comment What we need to be doing (Score 1) 68
First we need strong unions for higher wages for the remaining jobs so that those people can drive a service sector economy with their purchases.
Next we need ludicrously high taxes on the rich in order to control their power and to get the resources we need.
Then we need enormous government programs. Trillions and trillions of dollars of government infrastructure spending. Trillions more social programs. We also need single-payer healthcare and huge investment in education with literally everyone spending half their life in college and education. That keeps them out of the workforce which is going to be shrinking and shrinking and shrinking.
All this just buys us time. I've mentioned it on other comments but the problem we have is we are running out of work to do but we're still going to have some work that has to be done, typically unpleasant backbreaking work that pays very poorly with it requires a large number of well to do white collar workers to fund via service sector jobs
The idea is to do all this to by time while we get used to a completely different society.
Without all this the economy collapses you have literally billions unemployable, not unemployed unemployable, and eventually you've got massive wars and people firing nukes off.
This was actually the plan Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had in store if you were paying attention...
And we aren't going to do any of this. Because as soon as any of this money starts getting spent it's going to trigger the lizard brain of all the people reading this because some of you are still going to be working while other people are not because they are completely useless and you're going to want those useless people to suffer because you're suffering at your miserable job.
So you will not allow any of this and we're not going to get the time we need to transition and we're going to do those wars instead.
I don't think our species is going to survive any of this.
