So, how the gently caress are people supposed to deal with the whole "end of work" thing? Like I have a BA and I know that isn't going to be good enough to get me a "fantastic" job anymore. I personally wouldn't mind having to work less and less, but with less money being around for workers, and more being focussed in capital doesn't this just end up with thousands not working "a job" but working different ones in order to keep themselves afloat?

Does this mean that we're just at the mercy of capital forever? gently caress, no wonder people are mad.

Mincome, eventually. There is enough money to go around to support everyone, but it would involve restructuring a lot of the economic systems we're used to. Realizing people have value solely by being people, and not by how much money they make or what they do, would be a first start, but even that feels like it's a long way away.

By the way, there was a study at Oxford a few years ago analyzing how likely jobs were to be automated. The tl;dr is jobs that involve creativity and working directly with people are least likely to go away.

Truck driving is a low skill position, but it's not a no skill position. No skill positions are painting lines on the roads, which will increase dramatically once self driving cars become available.

I'm surprised Trump's comments about leaving with Iraq's oil haven't been getting more play. In the run up to the war, there was always the sneaking suspicion that Bush and Cheney invaded so that they and their oil buddies could get rich, but it was never proven. Trump is straight up advocating for war as a means to making the country rich.

I've been seeing this "22 for 22" thing pop up on social media where people do pushups or burpees or something to promote awareness about veteran suicides. Maybe that's where he got it from?

22 military suicides a day was from a report released in 2013. It is where the 22 pushup thing came from. The VA revised that number to 20 in July.

Pence was then asked if he considered it hypocritical to claim he was a Christian but refuse to allow desperate refugees to seek sanctuary in his state.

“Absolutely not,” Pence said. “If the Syrian refugees were Christian, we would help them.”

"Less than lethal" has never meant "nonlethal." (though it is sometimes called "nonlethal" by dummies)

Nonlethal was the preferred term for it before people realized tasers could cause heart attacks, tear gas canisters could crack your sternum, and anything that would knock you down could cause you to crack your skull on the pavement. Less than lethal is a fairly new phrase.
