The wrath of the old rich man - or: Wait.. you want us to pay higher taxes?

[Woadnson]

I didn't read the interview on Breitbart, though the person in question stated things that slightly contradict a statement made by another memeber of that golfing party. What to do when everyone involved is prone to exaggeration?

[twiddler]

no wonder your opinions are all fucked up

look at the dribble you read

holy shit

Do you mean drivel?

[Garnier Fructis]

The real enemy are temporarily embarrassed millionaires, who will continuously vote against their interest on the reasoning that one day they'll be rich themselves, and they wouldn't want to disadvantage their (fictitious) future selves.

[Woadnson]

But back on topic. The problem is perhaps issues of deniable fallibility (eg. Carson has stated he isn't capable of working in government, so becoming Secretary of Housing & UD he now has carte blanche to fuck up the responsibilities of the position) and the larger delusions surrounding the "Free Market".

So you now have a government who will declare themselves professionals (as business owners) and amateurs (as politicians) to protect their profile. It allows them to play any outcome as something they had either entire or zero control over. My point being the majority of what Trump will enact as President will be done with a blinkered sense of purpose and the majority of his influence is going to be unforeseen by himself. Trump is well known for building things with zero awareness of the environment in which they're planted, to expect him to approach legislation any differently would be naive. The problem is without him actually being in office and having done anything (bar ego twittering) we can't really predict or hang anything on his directions or possible harm. I can imagine him doing a lot of damaging things, but I won't damn him for something he hasn't done.

Yet.

Right.... Are you aware of the advances in robotics? We're not talking burger-flipping here, we're talking things like accounting and surgery as well, firefighters, police officers, military... The list goes on.

Teachers and possibly doctors and nurses wont be affected much, due to the need of a human element, but make a true enough AI and that goes away as well.

Robots dont complain, they dont need sick leave, or even a vacation. All you need is a few enigneers and programmers. Basically Scientists will be mostly fine, and ofc CEOs. But everyday workers in pretty much every field is fucked

Actually large numbers of doctors will be among the first to go. What the majority of doctors do is diagnose and prescribe treatments. That is something tailor made for AI and big data to take over. So image a patient coming in with x symptoms, the AI learning bot having gone through the planets medical records (yes literally this) knows what that combination of symptoms most likely mean, and then prescribes y treatment.

@rym Stalin already tried your approach to kill the rich and centralize wealth. It doesn't work.

[Molis]

Mr. Sanders actually would have been a reasonable canidate. But unfortunately, your people voted bank managers and the economic and military establishment into power.

But still most of them voted for trump. Donald Trump must be really smart to convince those who suffer from poverty to vote a racist billionaire into office believing he would help them to become less poor.

Still in denial of how "Mr. Trump" got into office.

[Vizardlorde]

Lets say 50% of the now existing jobs will be occupied by robots in the future. If the number of jobs does not increase significantly there won't be enough work for everyone. It is not about the skill of the person but about the amount of work that is needed/wanted. If the amount stays the same but a greater portion of it can be done by robots there will not be enough work to do, so not everyone will be able to get a full time job.

Unless you get the whole world to agree with this huge taxes for the rich model you won't get it to work, they will simply move their money to another country.

Also, I have to agree with Faroth, left is the one asking for the end of democracy because people who disagree with them are too stupid/bigoted/old to have the right to vote.

No. You seize all their assets and put them in jail. The rich have been given far too much wiggle room. They have extorted and ripped off everyone. They deserve to be stripped of their wealth and left to rot in jail.

Here here! Wallstreet is rife with fraud and corruption to the highest. These people are lawless and a society that permits lawlesness is sure to be in decline. These people are fundamentally traiters who would and did sell out their country and their fellow man in the name of doing business.

Not a single fucking senior executive was brought to trial for the blatant accounting control fraud that drove the great recession. Truly the best way to rob a bank is to own one.

"My" approach?

Well, lets not talk about history here. If we take a look to the right corner, you will be surprised, how right politics "worked" in the past.
