If the first few minutes are indicitive of the whole thing, it's just a Zeitgeist-ish propaganda film that blames joblessness on automation of industry-apparently making workers redundant. Not watching the rest. Too ignorant.

 

[RonPaulIsGreat]

Automation will make all jobs redundant in less than 50 years.

Steam engines cost a lot of stagecoach jobs. Even the first inventions of the wheel dealt a harsh blow to couriers.

You are talking about replacing physical mundane labor. Computers will be able to think better than you, me, or anyone that ever lived, about any known process, in less than 50 years. There is the difference. All other changes, were not doing, anything but replacing simple processes. This CHANGE has NEVER happened before, anyone that says otherwise does not understand what is around the corner.

That should mesh nicely with Agenda 21 depopulation schemes.

I got part of land with mini hydro power plant. That means around corner are machines that will produce my food and clothing. I got electricity to power them and my transportation. I will have 3d printers to make replacement parts for my equipment. That means I will not have to work.... if it werent for government...HELP HELP Technology is taking my job and providing for all my needs so I dont have to work. Oh the horror of it...

Is that what the info-fearmonger is saying now?

That is not an inherently bad thing or a new thing. A scientific calculator has always been able to think better than me. We can learn more about the universe with the help of technology.

Henry Hazlitt has a book, Economics in One Lesson. Part Two (of the book), Chapter Seven is what Gwax is referring to.

I haven't read it myself, but will within the year. Thanks for the lecture, I'll watch parts as I get the time.

Good, I'd rather let a robot do my job.

Yes, absolutely. Textile mills all over again.

Besides, machines don't work for free because they require an energy source. If energy ever became extremely scarce, machines might not be so lucrative.

It's one thing to eliminate jobs while people still need them to put food on plates, roofs over heads, etc. Suppose we automate the work to put food on plates, roofs over heads, etc?

More time for fishing, target shooting, homebrewing and playing on my Obama phone.
