The great resignation

The founders firmly believed that totalitarianism is the natural progression of a government if left to its own devices.

 

I don't really see anything in that paragraph that doesn't apply to republicans...and the above in bold is very telling of your partisonship.

 

Simplistic view that takes absolutely nothing into account. Such as supply shortages for a small example. IE: this was nothing more than a chance to attack those that the poster does not like.

 

I'm not talking about government, I'm talking about automation killing jobs. I would say totalitarianism would put brakes on that, because the only way I see it slowing down is if the government steps in and forces corporations to cease improving automation.

 

or my objective rational observations.....

 

Yeah, I got a bit off track, as did many others.

 

Yes the marxist revolution is not for the benefit of the people. It is for the benefit of the marxists. It has happened over and over. Our system is about as close to "for the people" as any can be. It isn't perfect but it is better than the alternatives.

 

No but that is because of the ignorance of the population. When the realization of reality arrives, things will change.

 

Change how? Will you want the government to tell corporations how to conduct their business? Wouldn’t that be government tyranny?

 

Sadly that is what the American Marxists want if they maintain and grow power!

 

That's a hard one. If we as individuals can summon up the cajones to hold corporations accountable, then we might preserve freedom. Mark Levin in his latest book suggests stockholders of every holding must attend shareholder meetings and protest leftist interests such as colluding with Communist China!

 

There are still Republicans that dwell in the swamp with most all Democrats. They are being weeded out by current trends. Watch Liz Cheney and see what happens!

 

There isn’t expanded benefits.

I think it’s as simple as the hardship gave people time access the way the were living and those decisions are now being pursued. Whether it be a new job or the realization that a second income wasn’t necessary, who knows?

I do think it crushes the notion that expanded benefits kept most Americans from pursuing jobs.

Also it has exposed how little some view their fellow Americans. Republican governors groveling at the feet of management at the expense of labor regardless of the data before them. Which serve as a reminder the Party is a solely owned subsidiary of big business. “Party of the Working Class” my *ss.

 

I think the government has no role competing with paying employees not to work vis-à-vis employers paying them to work for a living.

 

The expanded UE benefits ended in September. The idea was from both political parties to quell rebellions from poor people.

 

And of 11 European countries 9 dropped it and the other 2 having to greatly modify it as it doesn't work and cost far more than projections.

If you want more income then go out and earn it, make your labor more valuable to an employer.

 

Did the other huge increases in personal subsidies? And we know people saved huge amounts of the hand outs and they can live off that money for a while.

 

What I said was about government, not the private sector. Change will be the abandonment of the marxist takeover. I don't think Americans will put with once they understand it.

 

but the problem of automation eliminating jobs and leaving the majority unemployed will come from the private sector, not the government.

 

Liz Cheney has always supported conservative principles. All she did was admit Trump was a cancer on the presidency. Trump is about as much of a conservative as Bill Clinton.

 

Think of all the robot maintenance jobs we would create. Technology put carriage footmen, slide rule manufacturer workers and a host of other jobs out of work. It is a natural thing. I wouldn't spend much time worrying about it.

 

Why wouldn’t robot maintenance be automated? I think a small number of very highly specialized jobs will be created, while man many more jobs are eliminated. I think it is very much something to worry about if you are worried about people not working and not being dependent on government. I don’t think it is at all an equivalency to increases in tech in the past. AI and robotics is a game changer.

 

Yes. Agreed. Liz is in trouble.

Sadly there are a lot of people that worship the man instead of the country.

Those people will be voting against Liz.

 

That's the goal!

"You will own nothing". That's exactly where they want the working and middle classes.

 

The railroad, airplane, satellite natigation as examples weren't game changers?
