I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately (along with other macroeconomic issues)…anyways. I’m glad someone wrote an article so I didn’t have to. 🙂 (like I’d bother)

I’ll link to the others when he writes them I’m sure

Anyway, I’m sure some PhD student is writing a thesis on how robotics has and will effect employment…Wouldn’t one expect automated workers to lower unemployment and wages while raising corporate profits (certain industries of course – but I heard a podcast on robots that write newspaper articles now – just input data and wait…)…
so what’s the long term effects? A high wage class and a low wage/no skill underclass…chaos ensues…9 hour workweeks are great if you make a massive hourly wage OR stuff is so cheap that one can live on 50€ a week…
