What happens to society when all the low-skill jobs are phased out?
>>
The workers find jobs elsewhere.

Oh just kidding they go on welfare for life.

beta uprising kicks into overdrive because all the betas go on welfare
>>
>>37886754
I think everyone (in europe) will go on to a form of welfare, apart from it will actually pay similar to a mid/low end job. Working will be optional and having a job at all will make you a richfag.

In America where no one gives a shit about each other it could get pretty nasty with people living in shitholes scrapingh by though
>>
>>37886754
Communist paradise where everyone just sits in their houses all day and collects welfare until the wallet runs dry and society collapses Venezuela style.

Good question in all seriousness though. I honestly don't know, how dose someone support themselves when all the jobs are gone?
>>
Medieval-level class divides. Lots of poorfags who can't do anything to benefit society against a moderate amount of useful, intelligent thinkers.
>>
>>37886840
who is going to be paying it? rich people? don't make me laugh.

but anyways we'll find out in about 5 years. they're already getting rid of warehouse workers and automating. the killing blow will be when self-driving trucks go into production

Poor people everywhere. The rich convince them to vote against their welfare and people go along with it because poor education. We would see another plague. The rich sit back and watch us die off.

Not related to the thread but I fucking love the self-service kiosks at McDonald's. Every fast food joint should have them. Imagine being able to make your order as complicated as you want and the machine will always get it right and you don't have to do any stupid human interaction or try to communicate intelligently with a function retard at a cash register. The only thing we need now is robotic fry cooks so the order comes out as perfectly as it goes in.

>What happens to society when all the low-skill jobs are phased out?

UBI happens. The Corporations will pay their fair share in taxes to the Govt who will take their fair share and redistribute the rest of the tax monies to the jobless masses as UBI who will then turn around and give their benefits to the corporations in exchange for goods and services. No actual profit will ever be made(which is good) and businesses will simply be competing for the patronage of the citizens and the collective pool of tax dollars available.

Three options:

>Reddit future
Universal basic income lets us transition into some form of leisure society.

>Khan academy future
Everyone becomes an entrepreneur, has economic agency empowered by technology, society is illegible, pluralistic, full of positive-sum collaborations between small (possibly decentralized) teams. Shenzhen is kind of like this.

>Cyberpunk future
Over 90% of people are useless. The rich live in luxurious gated communities; e.g. sea steads, current big cities except a million times more gentrified, Chinese-built African metropolises, etc. If the proles try to rise up, they are gunned down instantly by fleets of murder drones.

Guess I go on welfare.
>>
Assuming your government is generous about welfare, it would probably become a massive welfare state. That kind of society would go under very quickly, as there's nothing to incentivize anyone entering the work force to begin with. It might also be prone to some very nasty corruption, depending on just how large the government is. See communist states for reference.

I would also predict a very noticeable increase in violent crime. Poverty has a number of social implications: Shitty quality of education, shitty backward culture that enforces negative stereotypes, lack of opportunities for people to improve their circumstances in any way, lack of concern from government sectors that will probably never make any effort to improve infrastructure or services in such cities, etc.

IMO, welfare doesn't help anyone, least of all does it alleviate the need for itself. Governments should try to improve infrastructure and bring jobs to cities that are below the poverty line so that people have real opportunities to do something with their lives. You can't do that when you're forced to attend shitty inner city schools staffed by backwoods hicks who don't give a shit about your education, and the only jobs in your area are shoveling fast food or picking up garbage. You might make enough money to subsist in your shitty circumstances until you die, but you can forget saving up the funds to move to a better city, let alone attend college.

Company I work for just bought a bunch of robots, replaced about 30 people. Problem is that no one wants to hire anymore than they have to not only because of profits (because labor is sometimes cheaper than automation), but because of all the laws and regulations now.

>>
>>37887893
It's not really comparable. Industrialisation shifted the focus of labour from the primary sector to manufacturing. The process created plentiful low-skill jobs. And subsequently, the decline of manufacturing shifted it to the service sector, again generating plentiful low-skill jobs. The question is where the labour will go when the service sector is automated. We will need a quarternary sector, but no one knows what these jobs will be. If no one is farming or mining, no one is working in factories and no one is working in service, where will the low-skill jobs come from?

My point is that it doesnt matter if its been made.
There is no way it can be applied practically in society which makes it useless.
Automated trucks are to much of a hazard and the amount of programming it would require is immense to compensate for nothing to go wrong.
Same with flying cars. A bill was actually passed making it illegal to operate them in public so morons and jihadists wont use them to hit buildings.

Not a moral obligation but they have a legal obligation to pay taxes. Then the State redistributes it to citizens by the UBI.

Nobody is using my favorite word. Revolution. We have become so cucked as a people that we fail to realize there is more of us than there is them. What good is class warfare if only one side is fighting? The people doing that to us are no different from us. You can call them "smarter" because they have been hoarding resources since the time before we were born. But I know as well as you know that they are just as vulnerable to bullets as we are. They are human beings that get sick, bleed, and fucking die like we do. Their lives of constant leisure make them vulnerable. You could probably catch tons of those motherfuckers in one place and take them all out. I don't think this is what you guys are envisioning when you talk about "trimming the fat" but it's sure as fuck a possibility you shouldn't discount. I'm not a communist but I would gladly join a communist revolt. They have the right idea about what to do with these greedy fucking parasites.

For real. Fast food subhuman here, running the cashier is just one aspect of the job. Still need to clean, deal with customer complaints, run the drive through, and make the food.

What if we have machines to make everything and do everything for us and then machines to fix the machines that get broken and then machines to design better machines?
Where do the jobs go then?
>>
>>37888811
The machines replaced over 60 operators. Hiring a few more engineers was all it took. Remember all those people are liabilities too. It's harder to fire people, harder to get them to show up, and everyone wants to make bullshit workmans comp claims. Not machines.

We're also completely lights off operationally. The machines run 24/7, even when everyone is at home sleeping and the office is empty. No third shift. The machines do their own diagnostics and any issues they either try to fix themselves (broken tooling, etc) or stop themselves and wait for the morning to get fixed.

McDonalds would just have some servicemen in the area for a district, not at each location. When our machines have a problem we get emails in the night, and so when I get in I can address them immediately.
>>
>>37888909
its perfectly reasonable to build machines to make aero parts and cars. but to make burgers it doesn't. a plane cost a few millions and can easily cover the expenses. while mcdicks burger machine barely makes 500$ a day
>>
>>37888070
Absolutely because it's more than I make working.
>>
>>37888949
I don't know McDonalds location profits, but, they couldn't keep their doors open at $500/day. They make more than that. Much more.

And the machines to make McDonalds orders would be significantly cheaper than what I'm working with.

With regard to automotive and aeronautical parts, both are high competitive. Hence why they have been early adopters of automation.

Sure I make more than the measly $740 I was scraping by with on SSI but taxes are eating into my paychecks. Almost $90 each week. I don't even mind paying taxes but you would have to be stupid as fuck to not be upset about the fact that richfags pay much lower rates.

Eventually we'll end up with a bunch of made up jobs to fill the gap (and it's already starting). The government will assign you absurd tasks like digging a huge hole in the ground in the morning and then filling it in the evening again. Rinse and repeat for the rest of your life. Anyone who doesn't work hard enough to dig and fill the holes will be shamed. Anyone who goes on welfare will be shamed for not contributing to society by digging and filling holes.

If you want to get a real job, not only do you need to be intelligent and hard working with all of the extremely specialised skills and qualifications to back it up. You need to go through the increasingly bizarre interview process where they insult you to your face just to see how you react and perform various other psychological experiments on you. The corporations hold all the power here and there are several thousand eligible applicants, all with the same level of education and skill, so they can basically do whatever they want to you. In some particularly large companies (like Microsoft or Google), not only will you have to go through the humiliating interview ordeal, but you will also have to fight your fellow applicants to the death in the final stages of the hiring process. This will be broadcast live on PPV every Saturday night and will be purchased mainly by disillusioned hole diggers to make them feel alive again after a long week of meaningless Sisyphian toiling.

There will be no revolutionary triumphs when a rare rebellious town gets cut off the outside world by drones patrolling the air, its food supply blocked and water diverted.

Horrible example. Note how Assad has a ragtag militia army running 60's and 70's Soviet gear. Not a massive force of autonomous drones of the sort we'll be seeing in yhe near future.

Listen, nigger, if you live in a moderately large city in most of the world, here are the things that keep you alive:
>constant pressurized, clean drinking water supply from stations often 10km away or more
>hundreds, if not thousands, of refrigerated shipping containers full of food and other supplies moving in on the highways and rail every day
>running water sewage collection and drainage infrastructure that prevents build-up of shit and routine cholera&typhus epidemics
>electricity to run that all and more from the grid, a vast, interlocked and centrally managed AC circuit.

Remove those; use mass-produced autonomous drones to COMPLETELY block entry and exit from the urban area - this is only a problem if you actually sort people, when you shoot everyone and everything that moves the job becomes much easier; Seed rainclouds in the surrounding areas to stop rainfall on the city (if even needed). Boom. Your revolution is dead in the water. Give it a month. Less, generally, because of the drinking water.

Then we rise. Communism is inevitable. Anyone with a fucking brain can see that. The only question is whether we as a society are smart enough to make the transition peacefully or if regressive right-wingers literally make us fight a civil war to progress as a civilization.

This isn't talking about a collapse in the current political climate. This is talking about attempted revolution in an automated society. Which is nearly impossible. Revolutions can't start in rural areas, by the way. Population density too low.
>military on the side of the people
Not when the military consists of a bunch of engineers and programmers who are part of the employed elite, and an assload of robots.

But as I said, most likely there will be no need to actually use any of this often, because most people will get universal basic income to keep them content. Your living standard under a fully automated society is likely to be much HIGHER than it is as a wagecuck.

>thinking in terms of money
Money is largely redundant when there is not a single human worker in the chain between the cow grazing the grass and the burger the drone delivers in your doorway. The way this will likely work is a pseudocurrency, like foodstamps. Produced and destroyed in lifecycles corresponding to how you consume it by a central distribution network. Money will remain, but for the employed - and real prices of damn near everything will likely be extremely cheap.

Basically, things that are produced and consumed will cost nothing, while things that are unique and coveted (like property) will be extortionately expensive and practically inaccessible to the unemployed. But what the fuck do you need a house for if the city towers offer most of the same for free?

Leftards are retarded. In fact, when automation comes around might be the time to thin the ranks of the underclass a bit by some eugenics. No need to keep the 60iq niggers and abbos around. Only allow UBI recipents to reproduce if they meet certain criteria (in which case encourage it). No need to kill them, they can still happily live out their lives playing vidya, sportstball with friends, touring the world or whatver, just ensure they don't make kids so that the total carrying capacity of the system is not weighed down by literally (go watch some Isaac Arthur) trillions of retards.

There is though. You need to really think hard about how to live your life in a way that makes it averse to these things. Most obvious one is the realization that credit is slavery. Don't get a fucking mortgage. Don't get a car on credit. Don't rack up credit card debt. It means you're living your life on hard mode but when they do what they're talking about, shocking the system, you won't be hurting nearly as much. They'll let you live beyond your means for a little while, give you some nice things and let you think they are yours, then they'll pull the fucking rug out right from under your feet. Look at the housing crisis and the last recession. It was sad but those people got what they fucking deserved.

You can push IQ fairly high by simply not letting the dumbfags reproduce. Look at ashkenazi jews - they are heavily inbred and come from an area of slightly lower average iqs than europe, but centuries of fairly brutal selection have left them with a full standard deviation above the European mean.

Wouldn't it just replace the position of cashier? No one exclusively works as cashier. Everyone is either during food prep, grill, fryer, drive thru, restocking, or cleaning until a customer shows up at the front counter. It would probably make it easier for workers since they no longer have to stop what they're doing, go to customer to take order, then go in back to wash hands for 20-60 seconds, and make the order.

So much needs to be done in the time it takes for an employee to properly wash their hands.

Everyone always forgets about one glaring issue: LIABILITY. When Truckerfag skids out on black ice and plows into a bus of nuns, he was clearly at fault, and the trucking company pays no money unless they were negligent in maintenance/forcing truckerfag to work longass hours etc. When a googl/tesla soft contours truck does the same, do you think lawyers aren't going to assemble a dream team to go after the billion dollar company that developed the autopilot system?

People always assume it will be the low paid, "low skill" jobs to go first, but those "low skills", i.e. interfacing an AI with a physical environment, are the hardest to implement. The real jobs in danger are the office drones, if your job involves typing on a computer, guess what, it's a lot easier to interface an AI with a computer than it is with a steering wheel and pedals.

Anon you're really silly. Automation gets rid of the need for humans progressively.

t1 you have 10 secretaries with pen & paper
t2 you have 5 secretaries with typing machines
t3 you have 1 secretary with a computer
t4 you don't need a secretary because you have an ultrabook, are subscribed to various services that help you manage everything yourself, have a smartphone, a smart watch, a smart car, etc.

In regard to fast foods, I've seen the evolution. At mcdonald's when I was a kid you had like 5 to 10 cashiers usually. Now you have 5 to 12 automatons and 2 cashiers and one polyvalent agent that sometimes bring their plates to customers and goes clean the bathroom and such. The number of cooks didn't change. If they get rid of the need for cooks, you'll effectively only need 3 people to run a mcdonald's location, not counting the manager and eventually a security agent.

You're delusional my dude. "b-b-b-but we'll create more jobs!!! we'll all be artists and entertainers and in the service industry!! we'll all be uber drivers!!!".

Get real. What will happen is that most people will be poor and suffer as our social security system breaks down because of massive immigration and corrupt politicians literally emptying state funds because they're all sucking the cocks of banksters.

output capacity of robot in terms of meals produced - 100/hour

based on this estimate, one robot could do the same work as 3 people, and if we estimate the robot costs $100k, it woudl take 13333 hours at 7.50 an hour to recoup the money spent. In the same time, it would cost 300000 dollars to pay workers who would have varying levels of efficiency 20-40 meals per hour each, so in about two years of continuous operation ,it is cheaper to have a robot than a person, also the robot does not need to sleep, so maximum profit per location

hipster old school production methods are a fad and meant to make money, why pay for 10$/bar of soap when i can pay 2 for indstrial soap. If local production methods supported small communities, like local farms and local clothing manufacturers, than it would be better to have those local businesses, but i na globalized economy, you can spend 10$ per bar on your gay man soap if thats what makes you feel like you are keeping the jobs human. And any real industrial human jobs for consumables that are not just fads are done by 12 year olds who work 30 hour shifts for 20 cents an hour. theres a reason your i phone cost 500$ and not $3000

I work in the machining industry and often I have seen these estimates fuck up horribly. For example, at my old job, there were lots of 3 axis CNC milling machines with 4ths indexers and a few true 4 axis machines, all vertical milling machines from tried and trusted companies.

Along comes a 4 axis horizontal with pallet changer and all the trimmings. The boffins in the offices pounce on it like white on rice, doing cost estimates for this new half-million dollar thing, going "we'll be able to run it lights out 24/7 it'll pay for itself in man hours within X months". Now there are obviously machines that are good and work like this, but this was a machine with lots of features for a relatively lower price; yes, half-million is "lower price". So they get two of the fucking things and they have had 95% downtime. NINETY FIVE PERCENT DOWNTIME. Nobody knows how to fix them, they have new "safety features" to reduce liability, safety features that simply make the machine stop at the drop of a hat for no reason, everything on it has broken at least once (not because of crashes). They then bought a standard machine from a regular company and all has been well,

Basically, I'm agreeing with you. Yes, automation is a lot cheaper in the long run IF it works well. For the next ten years at least, most of the automation will not be functionally cheaper in real life. Automation can only work if there's enough infrastructure, demand, and investment in place to support it as getting automation that ACTUALLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE is much more expensive than just that little equation you've put in.

tl;dr you're right but only when economy of scale is big enough, for now. Many industry sectors aren't big enough, for now.

Thanks for the info, i agree that it only works in feasibility studies at this time.

Also, do you think that the software/hardware issue is going to get bigger with robots doing more and more jobs in the next 50 years?

like how tractors belong to farmers, but all the software needed to run them is essentially rented, and your tractor does not work unless you pay the licensing fee, and if you ghetto rig it, then you face severe penalties with the company.

At my job cost is the limiting factor for automation at this time, sure we COULD be replaced quite easily, but the cost estimates for us make it better to jsut have us work and do things by hand. This is the case because of the highly specialized troubleshooting jobs that we do ,where different equipment needs that special touch that machines have trouble defining without terabytes of data and complex mechanical systems.

I am working towards getting a degree in a field that is highly unlikely to be taken over by a robot, because I see my job going away in the next 30 years or so

I think that this will be a big problem, and that will in turn force some solutions. Basically, taking the examples of those tractors, you'll have large market/large industry players that will put out extremely productive automated devices. Like super high quality self-tractoring tractors that cost a shitton to buy, cost license to run, but are ridiculously productive in their specific tractoring duties.

Naturally the big customers will make a killing, but a large portion of the tractor userbase can't afford and probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of a 24/7 autotractor even if they were to be able to afford it, having tractoring needs too small to bother. Why get a tractor that can tractor 10000 things when you just have 100 things that need tractoring.

So there will be the "linux" tractor born of this demand. The large autotractor company won't really bother with this still sizeable portion of the tractor userbase, but smaller tractor companies will provide smaller tractors, more home-gamer DIY tractor things for smaller tractor users.

Then there's the userbase that needs tractors, but has a cornfield of a really weird shape. The super large autotractor doesn't have a fucking clue how to tractor a field that isn't rectangular, there is no planned update for another year, and you aren't allowed to fuck with the tractor's program or hardware. Again, more userbase that goes to the "linux" tractor.

What I'm getting to is that even if the technology is here two to five years from now, the world will take time to adapt.

Everyone here underestimates how difficult it is to automate many things and that alot of stuff is still and always will be easier to have a human do. The change isnt going to happen over night (50yrs) and the market will have time to adjust and new jobs will open up.
Someday it could really happen that we run out of jobs but it is definitely not going to happen in the next 100 years.

I am not denying that Jews control a lot of the money. It's a combination of strict/orthodox values, mostly centered around valuing a good education and ability to make money. They strongly value financial success. They also tend to be well connected with other Jews in the business/community, which only accelerates their ambitions. Jews are good at that, no doubt, but to act like they've all got some evil globalist plan is just fucking lame and wrong. Most of them have strong family values and don't commit crime.

And through these adaptations, the market growing pains of an automated-industrial-re-revolution will be felt slowly and understood by more people. A market is hard to support when nobody has money to buy the product when you have a huge production capability because you fired your employees to make your product automatically. This egg-chicken problem will be a problem that we will face within our lifetimes, in measurable ways within ten years, in certain industries.

The machining industry (making parts by removing material) is not as simple as it sounds at first. As funny as it sounds, large portions of the industry is driven by edge-cases. Shit that computers, even the best and most expensive ones, has trouble dealing with. Computers just don't easily understand "real life" concepts like rigidity of the machine, the workholding, the tooling, and the part. They have a hard time "listening" to how a tool sounds while cutting, they have a hard time grasping what a good chip formation looks like.

Even in the most advanced CNC machining centers, there's always either a huge fuckup because the guys let the machine do the thinking and it all exploded spectacularly, or one/a few experienced machinists that were able to tell the machine what to do while keeping hundreds of variables in mind.

Yes, automation is coming and it's coming soon. It'll replace a lot of people until we can't afford to replace more, and it'll cycle between this a few times until we unfuck ourselves and find something that works. My money is on cheaper electricity using nuclear generators, molten salt reactors, that sort of thing. If people have a hard time affording the cost of living even with cheap everything because automation makes it less expensive, it'll be in a lot of people's interests in making living cheaper. The only way to do that, at the core, is by making electricity cheaper.

But you are wrong. Go on a free for all shooter server and bring a squad of buddies on teamspeak. This is what the kikes do in business. This is also the fundamental reason why they attack their host societies - if the nation's social order and hierarchy is destroyed and atomized, the jew is free to move in and replace the old elites. Not to mention their shitty idea that they must rule the world for their messiah to arrive, which a lot of literal communists admit helped form their worldview.

Jews are a nepotistic, inbred group playing host societies for the benefit of their own people. They're not the only ones to do this, but they are by far the best and most prevalent at it. Denying this is retarded.

There need not be a fucking conspiracy, judaism has developed said traits over 2 millenia of natural selection, and the kikes have likewise developed an almost unmatched in-group preference both culturally and genetically.

The jews push for equality, collapse of social hierarchy because it benefits them. It does not benefit whichever group happens to be in the majority. Doesn't take a genius to figure out.
>Your problem is you are assuming every Jew is guilty of the conspiracy-level retarded bullshit that you spout
Your problem is still believing in the stupid individualist paradigm the jews espouse while never embracing it themselves. This is not about individuals, this is about tribes.

Agreed. My point is that this process takes time. We've had fast, powerful, and durable CNC machines for more than 30 years, machines that had impressive features even now. I've worked on Okuma CNC machines from mid-80s with programmable tooling that would log cut time and automatically change out a worn tool for a fresh one, on top of having 4 axis indexing, 72 tool pots, double pallets, coolant-through spindle, etc. Basically, it had all the features of the machine I mentioned in my first post but less than 0.1% downtime. Right now, that machine is still working, still making parts, and it's worth in its used shape what that other new machine is worth new.

Neural net programming will change a lot, I also agree.

>the more computers can take out of the hands of the operator, the less the machine will break down
Also true, but that still doesn't change how automation is a higher investment, and the portion of the market that works with edge-cases where automation sucks, is quite large. You'd be surprised of the local business or even international business drummed up by progress; in a way, this automation industry is pushing itself and requires human intervention to move further. People that want to make more productive machines need parts that can't be made by automation yet, because the market for those specific parts is too small. They require the input of a specialized market, too small to be automated, that can cater to those needs. The "small specialized" market is itself a fairly large market, because there are so many things to specialize in.

This is mostly why I think it'll take time, hopefully enough for us to work out sensible solutions to automation = no jobs = no purchasing power = no automation.

Humans are required for edge cases because each adult human is an exceptionally adaptable learning machine with decades of training. The thing is, most cases are not edge cases. Machines will take over increasingly less repetitive and simple tasks, constantly reducing the number of required workers, until you're left with a very small portion of the former workforce.

UBI is a meme they push to hide their true intentions. When millions are made redundant, their will be a shift in policy at the top from appeasement to genocide/eugenics.

UBI makes communism redundant. Even the actual fucking communists in USSR, China, Vietnam, etc realized their ideology was redundant thanks to automatization in the farms and factories, I don't know why western edgelords still cling to it.

Indeed.

This is why I'm hoping for more investment into the energy industry, specifically for cheaper power. I don't really care about the global warming debate, pollution, green energy, whatever. What I care about is $/W. That's the bottom line; if you can make power cheap, say a thousand times cheaper than it is now, then the basic cost of living can go down enough that it would cost pennies to house, eat, and dress yourself. This would practically make null the problem of a small workforce... But again I feel this is a naive dream. I'm not sure what will play out in decades to come, and I expect it to go sour in many ways, but maybe we'll make it even if we go through a real "electric church" cyberpunk phase where the whole world is basically a third world shithole where a few bucks gets you a smartphone but not a meal.

Computer assisted, sure, doctors are already assisted by computers. But we're basically going to need autonomous androids with the critical thinking ability of humans before doctors get phased out, and when that happens everyone will be out of a job.

You join the army because the capitalists will constantly need more stuff to satisfy the needs of the market in a scarce goods world. In order to get that stuff they will either need to exploit the poor countries of the world or take it by force. War is a very profitable business venture, so I'm sure they will need plenty of grunts to take and hold resources. Just look at Afghanistan and all the heroin that comes out of that country. Who do you think took and guarded those resources? The American Army of course.

Yes he was MD, "legitimate", but I'm in a country with health care so the people's republic of your pockets only goes so far. Sure it's OK getting stitches when you spring a big leak without having to break open the piggy bank for thirteen thousand dollars, but when you have a lump in your foot that could be cancer (or it could be nothing, but it would be nice to check), just getting a referral for tests is like pulling teeth. Then the clinic is manned by a triple retard that has a hard time just turning on the machine he's supposed to use, and then that fucking clinic doesn't send your tests to the doctor.

And then they don't answer any phone calls so that you can ask them to send your tests to the doctor again/for the first time.

Capitalism only works when the worker produces something (a product, a service) and gets capital in return. Without workers you can't have capital.

Automation on the level liberals keep preaching about probably won't happen in our life times, if at all.

Capitalism works in large communities because you can abuse people and make them do your bidding for money, thus profit, also someone will do a shit job for less and less pay, because a shit job is better than no money

communism works better in small communities, because if you try pulling any capitalist schemes and try making profit by abusing a workforce of your peers, people will get sick and tired of your bullshit real quick

communism does not work in large societies because of the law of diminishing returns, the more people there are after a given point, the less actual work gets accomplished per worker

>>37897808

a capitalst will gladly cut corners for short term gain (why use 5 nails when 3 will technically do the job good enuf)

he has a point that faulty construction costs lives, even fro a capitalist perspective, if money is value of work performed, and you use fewer resources and less quality control, you make more profit which is good for business

There was likely no malicious intent in intentionally making peoples houses to get rekt, but look at companies like BP, they pay for science, but only so they can know how much they can reasonably pollute and still get away with. Just had an oil spill? that sucks, because the last 5 hours of profit our company paid can pay for the outdated fee for killing over 9000 baby dolphins

communism is the other extreme, lets give free stuff to all participants, cant perform, that's alright, heres a free stuff for trying

Venezuela is far less powerful than the US. Same with NK (hence why the US constantly shoves sanctions down it's throat).

Capitalism builds nations (communism does not), but it is too destructive in the long term (communism is not) to keep up production indefinitely, that's why you need to split into cooperating communities for the long haul.

I DO NOT BELIEVE OPTION A IS LIKELY

it is merely an option that is open , its like how you could go talk to the sad person sitting in the hallway crying at work, or you could just leave him alone like every other normie, people are loosing touch with one another at an increasing rate because interacting with humans is becoming less and less important, literally the only thing we need to do with other people is have babies to keep the species alive, so its not likely that people will decide "uh yeah let me help out the future or other people"

It already happens on a lesser scale in the form of welfare, which is something that only really exist in a capitalist society. The main reason why we have welfare is because if we didn't have it, you'd have millions of angry people with absolutely nothing and getting no help from their government, and there's a fear of what those people would do.
