With more and more jobs being automated in America, while the population keeps growing, and while the income gap between the rich and everyone else keeps growing, is there really any other choice besides wealth distribution?

Sharing is what you decide to do with YOUR stuff. If you decide to do it with MY stuff, it is not sharing, it is just stealing.

Also, wealth inequality getting larger is not of necessity a bad thing. If the rich became twice as wealthy and the poor did too, the gap would be larger, but the poor would be better off.

Capitalism in this sense is fine.

When your local government (or federal for that matter) restricts your ability to create the "new" product to compete with the monopoly -- that's where it fails. And that is essentially what the FDA is and does-- You can't just go make a drug and sell it to compete with the prices of the other drugs -- there are laws and regulations that must be met. Meeting those regulations aren't cheap. You can't compete with these large lobby powers to make a difference!

If you want to have safe and effective healthcare then you need to restrict the market. Are we better off without the FDA?

Socialism will never work in a country, especially democratic country, due to the mental stance of the people living there.

I'm not saying this is bad, but for example,

if you brought a government-based form of politics into America, you're going to end up with a civil war.


Russians, on the other hand, we've had dictators for hundreds of years.

One, or another, makes no difference.

It's just the points of view of different cultures.

Socialism is a great thing, but only when applied to a specific country.

"It’s not tough to see why such robots appeal to Amazon. The company is a recognized leader in the drive for workplace automation -- and that’s a good thing given its razor-thin margins. Back in 2012 it bought Kiva, a robotic outfit, for $775 million. At the time the company was building out several gigantic warehouses. The Kiva implementation was eye opening because its tiny motorized robots moved entire shelves. Very quickly humans became the minority in the new state-of-the-art fulfillment centers, relegated to picking products from shelves whizzing by.

Now Amazon wants to replace the pickers too."

" On a typical Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) order, employees will spend about a minute total -- taking an item off the shelf, then boxing and shipping it.

The rest of the work is done by robots and automated systems."

>You expect prices will go down accordingly?

Yes.

Because whoever automates first can profit the same per unit as their competitors while offering a drastically lower price. They sell WAY more if they're drastically cheaper. They sell a fraction of that if they decide to sell at the same price & pocket the difference. It's more profitable to lower the price you fuckwit.

Even if someone decides to stick to the old pricing model and charge for services they aren't paying for, all it takes is ONE conpetitor automating in turn and now they've lost that competitive edge and they basically HAVE to lower the price to stay competitive.

Your conspiracy theory only functions in a monopoly. And most capitalists hate monopolies, because they lack the conpetition that makes the free market work. You know what else is a monopoly? Socialism.

>>
>>716172275
Not him but you'd have to trust the first guy to lower prices and that simply won't happen. Widget costs $50 man made. The robot guy makes it for half what the man makes it for and still charges $50 and makes 2x profit than the man. That's what will happen.
>>
>>716172210

regardless if AI comes to be, it changes nothing

socialism doesn't work, people who don't work don't deserve pay, if people can't work then that's is their own problem to solve, if they can't solve it then they will die off just the same

an AI would make no difference, the have-nots wold just have a new have to beg from

Charity alone can't stop loss of jobs.

Do you honestly think that people would pay 20%+ of their income on charity? Maybe if they had to actually LOOK at the people that were on hard times

But fortunately you don't have to see that. Fortunately you get to pay some arbitrary man who then helps the people who you don't even know about.

Charity or the government- sure that's fine. Make your choice. But don't act like charity will be any better. You'll be bombarded with the conditions of the poor ( or you will live out in the country where no poor person can survive more than a day )..

Good thing it's not up to them whether they have competitors or not.

Yes, oligarchies suck. But most of them got where they are through croney capitalism, which is where it uses socialism as a crutch and undermines the conpetition artificially bypassing the meritocracy of the free market.

In most cases, the losing company is downsized not eliminated outright.

If the large monopoly isn't acting in the best interest of the public, then demand for a better alternative is created. ANYONE can make a grab for this new market and from there you have a new market. Generally this is with low prices, but being environmentally friendly, not using sweatshops, or giving to charities are all marketable traits. SO either the current monopoly bends to public interesr, or it gains a new competitor.

Socialism is immoral.

Theft is immoral. Liberty > equality.

Funny - I'm just cracking into Russell and Norvig's and there's actually quite a lot about self-government, directly and indirectly. Now I realise how much work I need to do in re-reading a fuckton of those type of algorithms to get my head round it again.

But what does that pair of cunts know, eh?

>This still doesn't address veterans
As a vet, literally all they have to do is give the same tax cut to companies that they give for hiring retarded people.

That will get us jobs. Currently the jobs that are on veteran hiring boards are like for manufacturing and warehouse work, you know, the same work illegals take because no one wants to do the same 5 second task for 12 hours a day 5 days a week.

you've created problem and told me to solve them with my money

you wouldn't have a war machine if you quit point guns at everyone, do you not understand the premise of everything your socialism is based upon is violence and force?

don't dictate to me as to why it's good for me to help pay for the gun that's pointed to my head

and I keep telling you that if there are people who are willing to pay the same and/or more then that's how the market determines the price

the price isn't going to go down unless people reject that price

Trips of sociopathology. What's even worse than both of those is lacking human compassion. Kys robot

There sure is another choice, OP. It's called human depopulation and it's going to be exciting and fun.
