  • …And now with even more people lining up for those jobs because others have been taken by automation. That and in order to make a living you need to do at least two jobs per household.

    This doesn’t allow for any time or energy to skill up into anything else and forces a positive feedback loop in keeping people in this bracket.

    Edit: I’ve just read through some of your other comments and I want to say something about post scarcity. We can definitely approximate what will happen in the distant future by looking at current and past trends. Human nature is the constant.

    We can look at how many unskilled jobs are created as a result of automation. From what I can see, the number of unskilled jobs created from automation is in the negative, meaning that less unskilled jobs are created from automation.

    What systems are put in place for those without jobs? The trend is abandonment or exploitation. We’re currently in a glut of job seekers far exceeding jobs available both in skilled and unskilled areas.

    But I digress… This was originally about an automated lawnmower being mildly interesting, which it is.






  • There are also those who make bad decisions and are lazy but have a lot of money and power regardless. Being lazy/making terrible decisions does not equal poor; same as being hard working/making good decisions.

    The system at this stage is just geared towards making the poor poorer and the rich richer. E.g. making people pay lots of money to stay healthy rather than give people equal opportunity, making good education only accessible to the rich by making it prohibitively expensive, the wage divide between an employee and a CEO, family trusts and associated taxes etc.




  • Depends. It’s a business here and there are lots of young people with MBAs and not enough experience to contextualise the things learned within the masters. I mean, some are even doing it post grad.

    From my past experience with these types of people, I have a very low opinion on young people with MBAs. Business degree holders who want a shortcut to the top.

    EVs are the biggest load of green wash ever and on par with ‘clean coal’. They still use roads and carparks which are environmental waste lands, they also need power to run and their manufacturing and distribution process is definitely not environmentally friendly.

    Not to mention that their CEO actively campaigned against public transport in a bid to sell more cars…
