Nationalize the robots. Each robot made is given a single stake owner aside from the corporation that buys it and maintains it. Every dollar that robot makes gives 5 % to an individual. When the robot is replaced or if the corporation goes out of business the person is then assigned a new robot.

You didnt answer my question and I am not using luddite rhetoric.

Am I trying to sabotage technology in order to preserve my job?

No. We are ALREADY at a place where a vast majority of the worlds population doesnt have to work.

You wouldn't need nationalization to achieve that.

Because obviously the topic of automation affecting the workforce is just stupid right? Why even discuss it.

MIT



But many economists argue that automation bears much more blame than globalization for the decline of jobs in the region’s manufacturing sector and the gutting of its middle class. Indeed, in his farewell speech to thousands in a packed convention hall in Chicago, President Obama warned: “The next wave of economic dislocations won’t come from overseas. It will come from the relentless pace of automation that makes a lot of good middle-class jobs obsolete.”


That's ok though, you skill is so incredible that no one else on the planet could achieve it and nothing will affect you. Let's not even talk about it.

Funny that your sourcee's first line is this...


Artificial intelligence could dramatically improve the economy and aspects of everyday life...


Kinda hard to dramatically improve the economy whilst simultaneously killing it.

As a matter of fact it is and it wont, you can ask the people on here that actually know me in real life if I'm full of it or not.

I did it intentionally so you could quote it and I could remind you that: inventing isn't the same as your taking idea.

Just because you don't understand basic economics and how the market functions doesn't mean your scheme wasn't a government money grab as pointed out by many others.

what exactly is it that I don't understand how the market functions?

oh let me guess, it's above you to actually pinpoint what you are saying with a quote and offer a concise explanation right?

That taking 30% of something by creating 30% extra something adversely impacts the price of that something.

Oh, and actually letting the government do it is the height of dopey ideas.

You are not fulling explaining what's happening this discussion correctly in an attempt to make my point of view look like a socialist money grab from honest hard working business owners.

How about this, who has more risk in a situation the financier or the worker?

I'm going to assume your position is that the person financing the operation has more risk involved.

Bank Bailout



e United States Secretary of the Treasury to spend up to $700 billion to purchase distressed assets


So I bailed out the banks and took the financial risk in this situation but it's unreasonable for me to expect a return in value?

Guess there is no real consistency in ideology anymore.

I don't have to make it look that way, it is that way.
If you were to take Economics 101 you'd flunk.

I highlight the part of your text where you are purposely misleading the argument by using the wrong lexicon to explain what I am talking about.

You need to replace the word taking with the word purchasing such as in having a stake in.

But go on continue to misrepresent my argument and try to paint it as a socialist utopian ideology.

Why not respond to my entire post? Why only respond to the part of the post that you can twist to again fit your narrative??
