  Well, I, one of those people who would be replaced by said robots, am all for it. Fuck work. Buuut, without some other kind of economic system in place, we will be cut off from the food and water and housing trades pretty goddamn quick. Capitalism and leisure don’t go hand in hand. Capitalism and human and/or animal and/or plant life don’t go hand in hand. In short, capitalism is incompatible with life. Period. It’s a system of death that runs on the idea that if you exploit someone to the point of nearly starving, you’ll win more. If you can exploit people all down the chain to the point that they make next to nothing, you’ll win capitalism.

  The system is so short sighted that they are trying to cut costs no matter what, while still actively fighting anything that makes life remotely livable for, yknow, the people. That line go up, all is right with world.

  I wonder how many people will die before they start seeing a dent in their bottom line and start beating their head against the “we need to tax the people (not our businesses) so you can pay the people so they can make my business profit!” wall before they actually give in to increasing their own taxes…so with that excess profit, people can hand it back to the, in purchases?

  I dunno, but there’s no way I see capitalism and no work ever coexisting. It just doesn’t make sense. Not to mention “they” would never allow it because they hoard more and more and we all starve.

    Capitalism is the economic equivalent of a previous age of technology. It’s time is over and people are struggling to adjust to a new era where leisure is a result of progress.
