Job retraining would've been good 20 years ago to prevent today, and likely will be helpful to try and moderate whatever shitstorm lies just over the horizon. What we need is a modern day labor rights movement before automation gets too big but yeah fuckin right

We had this exact problem in the UK before you did in the US, when our mining and heavy industry shut down from about 1970 -> 1980 (roughly). Any of our governments could have pushed some money to those communities for retraining, or better to get some tax breaks in (or whatever is similar) to get some new industry going. We didn't. We still aren't. Those places are still totally hosed up and on life support. Guess which bits of the UK voted for Brexit! Yep, different country, exactly the same poo poo you're going though.

The manufacturing industry isn't dead here, they just replaced people with machines. For example, I just got done working at a mine that was almost completely autonomous. They had a few operators and maintenance personnel on each shift to oversee everything and that was it.

It ends up as the same problem, you don't need 5000 dudes turning up to a plant every morning anymore. I can't raise my hand and say I'm not guilty in this, I must have written software that's automated the crap out of thousands of people's previous work. I think my point is that we're dealing with that step change really badly.

CommieGIR posted:Lol. What ethical framework. Arguing that laws won't solve anything because criminals are devoid of laws isnt a logical argument. Its a poor mans attempt to end run around a point you disagree with by nullifying it. That's not giving DR's ethical* philosophy** enough credit. It's not just the people who voice disagreement when he expresses his opinions: no real world consequences of his views can ever force him to change his mind. It must feel quite pleasantly secure, especially ever since he learned a fancy-sounding word for it. Finally, a label with which to focus and solidify his contempt for people who admit fault and error, and people who ever take practical action to try to make anything better for anyone but themselves. Hats off, DR: you've cracked the code. You found an excuse for never having to try. e: CommieGIR posted:Even better: He labels it an ETHICAL framework, so that anyone in disagreement is 'Unethical' A breathtakingly convenient misunderstanding.

The Economist has had several pieces on the changes brought by then Internet, including the focusing of capital (Internet companies create fewer jobs than they destroy) and increased automation of menial/tedious/repetitive jobs. I think they are moving in the direction of being in favor of a universal basic income but I haven't had a chance to catch up since grad school started.

They've already straight up admitted that deficit talk was to go after obama. The unspoken part of course is that they're playing their voters for idiots and convinced them that sovereign debt is like personal debt.

By the way, he hasn't had the tour of the island yet.
