not just for breakfast

well, neither side addressed this, even stretching down to all the primary candidates. So, yes, had the election come out the opposite way, I'd be demanding Hillary stack the Cabinet with folks across the board to try to start thinking about the 4th Industrial Revolution. Of course, since no one addressed it in the campaign, I wouldn't expect the voters to have a clue. Interesting, you cite the little subgroups, and I think that is one place a lot of the real left types go off the rails. You can't do identity politics and then try to speak to everyone. The right has the same issue, different identity groups.

Here, I took a drive on yer side of the road.....

Seems those folks from this link^^^are where you say...we will be in ten years....well, they're there now. Why?

we have to start rethinking human worth and the tie-in to working. We have to start to re-think how a society gets run when all the income is going to 10% of the population, with another 10-20% at lower level pay providing services to the 10%, and the rest not needed for currently existent jobs. We have to rethink the purpose of education, and emphasize both certain types of skills and thinking, but also creativity, because that will become a really valuable part of the skillset. We have to rethink how even whether we can level the playing field to ensure that the folks that emerge from education to take the limited but lucrative jobs in the marketplace are not solely the offspring of the 'elite'(hate that word) 10 percent. And, so on. A lot of thinking, You up to it? Is America, as a whole up to it? Not at all sure, myself.........and I have to plan my family's future around that uncertainty.

No offense intended....but, you ain't learned much the last forty years.....

Nothing needs to be leveled, everything needs to be 'incentivized'.....

Then there's this little dab of thought...who the feck made you and yer dying party the 'determiners' in your story above?

[callmeslick]

oh, this goes past party. This goes past national boundries. You're deluded if you don't see it happening. Caught another glimpse just an hour ago. Got sent to the store for the week's groceries. The store will now handle online orders, which one merely picks up, bagged and ready to go at the appointed time. You know how fast that whole process could be automated?

[Pudfark]

automate that their process fer picking strawberries and a ripe watermelon....let me know how that works out...Slick?

[callmeslick]

gee, still not quite getting it, are we? Howabout the fact that picking fruit will be one of the few remaining jobs on the open market, and supply and demand will push the wages to the floor. Fast.

Know/No dummie.....pick yer own fruit at the grocery store or learn to eat a lot of banana pudding.....
