Reply #54: No, taking jobs away from people and the problems that causes [View All]

[NeedleCast]

is a return to the stone age and an economical disaster as is your apparent desire to have no one making anything for anyone else. Hell, even under a barter system, you get an exchange of goods and services. So at what point does it become "slavery?" At what point does exchaning money you've earned for a product someone else has created become a master-slave relationship?

So what are all the people you're advocating replacing with machines going to do for work? You may have noticed - I think there's been a bit of media attention dedicated to it recently - that there's this teeny-tiny global recession going on...and you're advocating LESS jobs? Same for the millions of jobs created by global trade and shipping.

This bizzare idea you have that the world will be better off with all of us lounging around letting "the machines" do all the work is pretty much the opposite of a good idea. You don't go out of your way to reduce jobs during a recession! This is like Republicans arguing that we need more tax cuts while while the federal government spends more money.
