hanales posted:I know Burr started off shaky but he seems to be staying focused on this stuff, and warner is a dog with a bone right now. Closed sessions aren't ideal but poo poo will get leaked anyway. Mueller and his investigation team are going to have access to closed session transcripts, anyway. If Sessions says anything important to their investigation or (we all hope) perjures himself, it'll come out eventually even if the specifics are kept classified.

Yo can we not dump multiple unrelated tweets in a big rear end post please? I have twitter itself for that. I get it if they're all pertinent to a particular subject.

enraged_camel posted:I sell and implement automation software to SMBs. I've personally witnessed said software resulting in many layoffs. In one occasion, the automation project was so successful that the customer shuttered an entire department. Eighteen or twenty people were let go because their jobs were made redundant by a bunch of ones and zeroes. It's happening at my workplace too, the software side of it. Still whatever possible problems might lie ahead, we are still talking at least another 10 years or so out. This is one of the problems I have with this media obsession that robots/automation are coming for your jobs. Worse that is the blame for wage stagnation and inequality, which couldn't be further from the truth. Like there was a paper that came out in March trying to find evidence of robots and job displacements: http://www.nber.org/papers/w23285 An article on that paper from Quartz: https://qz.com/943073/compelling-new-evidence-that-robots-are-taking-jobs-and-cutting-wages/ quote:However you measure it, the short-term impact of automation has been wrenching for many workers. Yet, history also suggests that fears of new technologies leading to persistently high unemployment are unfounded. Over the long term, markets always find a way to make use of humans’ skills. Assuming this time really isn’t different, they probably will again. So there is insufficient evidence that would suggest an impending robot/automation disaster. Yes there are real problems in the labor market right now that have suppressed wages and job creation, but the source of that lies in our policies regarding globalization, collective bargaining, unemployment, etc. Nothing to do with automation/tech/robots. That narrative is distracting from what truly needs to be addressed: the lack of wage growth and growing inequality caused by policies that have moved economic power from low/mid wage workers, but also our productivity growth is far too low. There just isn't a basis that supports the conclusion automation would increase unemployment or continue wage stagnation. If we had knowledgeable policymakers that care about working Americans they would get to work on addressing the long wage suppression we've suffered under for decades. And if you can craft policies that can produce high wages and good jobs then it will be that much easier for workers to transition into them if they were ever displaced by our new robot overlords. Education and continuing training are not the solutions, just as much that they weren't sufficient enough to deal with those displaced from manufacturing/factory jobs across a few decades ago.

The things you listed are also contributing to the problem. I just don't get why you are discounting automation as a cause. But whatever. This isn't the automation thread.

I'm not exactly a constant contributor but I do like commentary and seeing goon thoughts on things. I generally try to avoiding more than one big post on a page unless the news is either moving so fast that you couldn't keep up with the different sources otherwise or if it's longform replies about upcoming important events (eg the Sessions meeting that he's been gotten to be in closed session, for example; the realization that Burr is covering Session's rear end since he's the chair). If you're refreshing the thread for about 5 minutes after I post it's usually edited at least 2/3 times since there's no twitter link previews so I can cut down on the length or if I find something that's funnier. (Twitter threads by one guy can be cut in half since the previous post is in the subsequent) Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Jun 11, 2017 |

Yeah if a bunch of people were doing those constantly, it'd get annoying and drown out discussion, but the current pace is great. Provides fuel for discussion, and helps the thread focus on events other than the current derail.

Occasional corralling of twitter posts is good for someone like me who just doesn't use twitter and wouldn't want my feed constantly filled with this stuff, anyway. It's a lot better here where it has relevance and can be talked about.
