Comment on Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses
a4ng3l@lemmy.world 8 months agoYou already have universal basic income where you guys are living ? Failing that it’s solely less low qualification jobs and more concentration of revenues for the few above. I don’t see that as « a net positive » -although semantically, those laid off would not be workers anymore so in that you’re right. Horrifically so.

UBI is necessary for this to be positive, so that’s our problem. Not that machines are taking the job.
Don’t throw shit at this, throw it at politicians.

And yet you cheer on the loss of jobs and hand wave away issues as someone else’s problem. That makes you part of the problem as the side cheering on the destruction of people’s lives. Seriously how do you “workless utopia” fuckwits not see this?

I actually just want UBI so every single working class can get the basic needs instead of the rich getting richer.
I’m pretty sure I’m in the ground, and not in a tower with this opinion.

Sure but right now that isn’t happening and robotics dismantling jobs destroying income is real. We are focusing on idealism and not reality.
Wanting it is fine but advocating that it’s the only solution right now is not.

B-but the billionaires will get angry you have your basic needs met despite it not hurting them whatsoever! You might actually not be a slave for a few seconds!

The pandemic showed us that people shouldn’t have their income tied to the government.
The corporations should be required to fund public housing. No one pays more then 10% of their income.
