Oh dear.
TI...nobody is arguing that automation isn't happening.
We're saying your claim that it's a lefty conspiracy to get rid of minimum wage jobs is bullshit.

Is a 50-75% unemployment rate a conspiracy?It's not bullshit because you say it is.
Your also not some authority here so watch yourself.
You're right. It's not bullshit because I say it is. It's bullshit because it's bullshit.
But hey. You say it's not so I can't wait to hear about all these lefty liberal CEOs of banks and other massive conglomerates you were talking about.
Those Koch brothers. Their companies must rely on a lot of automation. Let's look at their political donations. I wonder if they're liberals.

Apparently you missed the title of the book.
Try again.

You think the Koch brothers are conservatives?Lol. They are as conservative as Hilary Clinton.
Aha what?
So I mean, people are right in saying you are literally not backing up half the conspiracy sounding stuff that you're saying, so I didn't really feel the need to comment.
But that? That is a ridiculous statement. The Koch brothers are maybe the most prolific conservative donors on the planet. They're the ones who ultimately backed the Tea Party, they're the ones who have backed the few studies left which deny climate change. They're the ones who have recently made an entire new group to lobby and promote petroleum use in the face of increased public support for alternative energy. Look at pretty much any cause they have donated to, and it's a conservative one.
The idea that they are not conservatives is ludicrous. Now maybe they might not be your kind of grass roots conservative, but they are conservative nonetheless. To say otherwise is just wilfully ignoring facts.
I dont think you got it by me saying that. Again you missed the point and went way over board to try and act like you have edominance.
What would you really know about anything anyways, you live in Britan. Im really sick of you british people telling us Americans how to run our country.
We left, we never wanted to come back, yall came and we beat you again and again, and now you rely on us to fight your battles.
Well I mean the thread is about automation and mechanization which is a global issue. So nationality isn't relevant to the discussion.
That being said, sure 'blah blah 1776 blah blah we saved you in WW2 (False but whatever) blah blah ' murica whatever', people are interested because American policy affects the entire planet. But again, all irrelevant to this thread about mechanization really.
And I wasn't telling you how to run your country. I was replying to the fact you said the Koch brothers aren't conservative. Which again, not a nationality thing just replying to a clearly untrue thing you posted. Wasn't going overboard just correcting you. Sorry if that riles you or whatever.
I don't know if there is a conspiracy, but all I can do is just look at how some people behave in this current climate. We have greedy people who'd rather pay illegals shit pay as opposed to paying an honest american citizen a fair wage.
So if using robots would be cheaper then using people of COURSE they will do it.
If people truly cared about the average working man in this country then no illegals would come here because they wouldn't be able to find a single job, because not a single business owner would be willing to cut corners just to avoid paying people a decent wage.
