How on earth is a post-industrial economy sustainable? Lets face

dude ubi lmao

he's supposed to die

Capitalism completely destroyed local industry, craft work, and culture. Communists are cringey but they get a lot of things right.

by moving into service oriented fields?
i dont understand the question I guess. You're asserting that jobs leave forever and are never replaced by anything else but America provides far more jobs today than it ever did in 1950 when manufacturing made up a much larger percentage of the economy.

Besides the fact that many of these leave as well, flipping burgers isn't really a way to start a family.

>>2562651
That doesn't mean they are stable jobs a family can live off of. The population is much larger than it was in 1950s as well.

ay amigo if there's one thing that will always have demand and will always be around (hopefully) is food, so if your family were cooks and such you'll easily find a spot wherever and whenever you go.

but anyway, most people adopt to the changes through generations, the grand father would fix the father's way, and the father fixes the son's and so on.

in other words they learn the means of survival even if it means throwing their craft into the Environment-Friendly™ Gluten-Free™ Recycling-Pin©.

Sure, but many of those jobs do pay enough to provide for a family. Manufacturing wasn't exactly 'stable' employment either until unions came along but the concessions they wrung out made most of the work they did unprofitable thus spurring outsourcing & automation. I guess my hang up is that those 'ideal' 1970s plant jobs that could provide for a family of 4 were a product of a specific time & place whose conditions no longer exist.

That doesn't mean there are less jobs, the jobs have just move to different sectors of the economy. Many of the fastest growing sectors pay more than your typical factory production supervisor.

You're notion that people can seamless move from factory jobs to service sector jobs seems off. The fact that suivide and drug use highest among White working class without a college degree is telling that something isn't right.

It isn't. Capitalism is going to be completely cucked by automation. Everybody can see it coming.

>>2562771
I never said they could. There have always been losers in economic development. It seems to me if this was 1810 you'd be arguing that the manufacturing is a blight because it's putting the guilds out of business.

>>2562807
Not necessarily. Post industrialization leaves a gap that industrialization doesn't.

>>2563342
What 'gap'? America's service sector provides more jobs than its manufacturing sector ever did.
