Yeah, it’s so sad when we automate the jobs we don’t want to do.
What?
All jobs are replacable by robots, it is just a matter of time until your job is replaced.
The main problem is that Corporations cry that raising the min. wage would hurt thier profit/economy, but once it is cheap enough to replace humans they do it asap.
Would love the AI society that artists and authors started to imagine (in an admittedly idyllic fashion) a world where technology and AI meant that people could invest more time in personal projects, socializing, and relaxation instead of working all the time. All it will really do under our current system is leave a bunch of people who’ve been replaced with no real way to stay afloat. We’re replacing the workers, but not their support system
Union density is highest in pseudo-socialist countries like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and in pseudo-communist/ex-communist countries like China, Russia, Kazakhstan…
edit: added video explaining democratic workplaces
Sadly, this will keep happening.
Corporations are: profit>humans.
Once it is cheaper to replace humans, they will.
Co-ops and unions. Democracy in the workforce is required.

labor cost savings to the people instead of the owners.
This is the way.
Profit sharing should be a part of our laws.
Good thing our politicians that vote for us are all bought out by corporations who don’t want shit like that to pass
Taxes are essentially profit sharing
No.
Taxes pay for the infrastructure that companies rely on to operate.
Taxes don’t reward the workers for their contribution to the companies bottom line.
You have a point, if a democratic workforce votes to increase profit instead of investing in workforce, they will not survive.
I am thinking it would work more like a non-profit, due to all the money made would be used in reinvesting in the company and paying workers.
Aren’t some companies artificially kept up or is it manipulation of the market?
I think the capitalist system is already dead, you need markets for capitalist system.

Seems like blue-collar workers were trying to warn us of this all along.
Oh wait, they don’t matter :\

Corporations are always: profit>humans
That’s why it makes sense for humans to band together against the common enemy.
Not step on ourselves in the hopes that we may get ahead 🙂
Yes, that is true. Instead of grouping ourselves in what divides us, we should focus on what we agree on.
Thanks for the reply, I may have read your comment in the wrong way.
Have an awesome day!

Agree, making harder for working class to support ourselves
No support system in the works, so more crime and violence as a result.

It seems that the work was easy enough to be replaced. I wouldn’t do a job that can be replaced by an AI in the long term.
What job do you do now?..
I am a car mechanic and can’t imagine being replaced by a AI or machine any time soon.
Blue collar job are safe from this type of AI. If anything it will make diagnostics easier.
