    Job protections and guarantees for workers displaced by automation

    Jobs are a necessary evil, not a goal in itself. The goal should be to eliminate all jobs.

    Until that time we should figure out a better way to share the burden of the work that nerds to be done as well as better way to distribute resources. Trying to preserve jobs is not the way.

      It’s more about resource allocation, who gets to control of how much. You can eliminate jobs and have most people scratching out a meager existence or you can elinimate jobs and have everyone on a level playing field. I think we’d mostly agree we want the latter but currently looks like we’d need a war against the already wealthy to avoid the former.
