How can aggressive capitalism survive and more importantly how can people live comfortably without more broad social benefits in a world that is inevitably trending closer and closer to total automation?
I'm not talking about a socialist utopia but logistically, it would simply be impossible to have everyone become engineers or doctors or have millions of highly skilled proficients and an equal amount of jobs.

somebody get this feeler outta here.
>Another basic income thread
Wew lad
i'm serious, we can't just ignore automation as a thing that exists
dozens of large cities, some countries around the world have experienced massive unemployment problems because factories don't need bodies anymore
what happens ten, twenty, thirty years down the line when that is everywhere?
Ban making lots of money quickly
>no more copyright, write more songs, make more movies
>mandated employee:production capacity ratio
>bring back picking cotton, grow GMO cotton in michigan, fix detroit
imagine all the jobs that were lost to automation during the course of history. yet we somehow still manage to have +/- 5% unemployment.
>what is creative destruction.
What do you mean, in my jade helm 15 fema shelter I am given daily rations. We were told to look for yellow cake uranium.
Libtards in Hillary's camp will defend it and force people to buy things on credit. It won't matter if no one works because they have been using credit to supplement stagnant wages since the eighties which will continue to trend. Everyone will go along with that because women will hold all the good jobs and the guys just want to get laid.
industrial automation and hell even administrative automation is much much larger now than it has ever been in the past
and lets say that we're ok right now, what jobs are going to be created when that isn't the case anymore?
If human labour isn't required to create wealth, then ownership of wealth is ideologically meaningless and arbitrary.
That's why we have seen a trend to the left (economically) and will continue to see that. Unfortunately these type of social/ redistributive programs tend to be, "all or nothing" in practice--to see positive results. Instead, with slow development, we just see immense burocratic inefficiency.
My forecast:
>general complacency if queen shill is press for the next four--perhaps she will keep the chimps from, "chomping for a bit.
>As more, jobs are automated, there is growing concern--as the current government was not designed to supplement a large unemployed class.

>In the end, those with money b4 survive through this time--destroying the serfs cleanse themselves.
Depends on who is in charge. If you've ever worked in a corporation you'd know that people will find a way to create a job for themselves even if it's useless
as people get richer because needs are satisfied using less resources (1% of population working in agricultre compared to 90% working in agriculture 500 years ago), people tend to move to higher needs, like hairdressers, paintball, sports, e-sports, entertainment in general,...don't worry, we will be fine. I doubt anyone in the 1950's would predict we would be launchign people into space for shits and giggles, camwhoring ourselves or shooting projectiles filled with paint at eatch other. I don't know what the next invention will be, if I did I wouldn't be sitting here. Shit 10 years ago we didn't know VR is going to be a thing.
Create your own job. Create your own job and pay yourself what every the company can handle but also be ready to listen to worthlessness telling you they demand more money.
Depopulation bomb solves everything.
UBI is introduced and most people do not work as there is no need to. You have a shift in cultural and societal understanding of what work ethics are. Depending on what the general consensus is, you either get a society that focuses on art, scienes, self-improvement, and pursuit of happiness, or you get a full blown hedonistic orgy of self-destruction as everyone goes full degenerate.
Regardless, average quality of life will greatly increase.
If automation has made labor cheap and easy and thus made products cheap and easy, then why havent prices plummeted in turn?
That's easy: inflation.
Automation will make labor cheaper creating new jobs in the economy which will then raise the price of labor again.

What will happen? Forced sterilization.
