Robotics alone can make employment obsolete, but add in AI and it's all the more true. This is a real economic conundrum that human civilization has never faced before.

The 40 hour work week was established due to the work of Henry Ford as he discovered that productivity quality dropped off after that many hours a week. The 40 hours wasn't settled upon because society/economy needed it, but because it was the most that could be efficiently provided by a quality worker.

Fast forward to today, and production can be maxed out with less than 40 hours of human work per worker. So fewer peolpe are needed to make things or the same number of people could work fewer hours for maximum production.

But then with less employment, how can workers make enough to buy what's needed? Unemployment goes up because fewer people are needed, and then homelessness goes way up like it is now. It's easy to then see the logic of concluding the world is full of too many useless eaters that should be exterminated with a vaccine.

But I'm not sure there's an ethical solution to a world where anything can be produced cheaply but without having anything close to the whole world working to produce those things.

No AI bot has ever harvested even an acre of wheat, dude. US would have plenty of workers to do so except for LBJs dysgenic breeding progam.

Farming is only one general area of economic production in an economy.

My big, big question is why are we importing "migrants" (with all the problems they bring) to do work that could/should be done by citizens who are getting a free ride rather than working for a living. It sure as hell seems cheaper to bus morons from Joliet to Des Plaines rather than bus morons from Guatemala while paying for the morons already in Des Plaines to live in Section 8 apartments and do nothing but have more moron babies.

Motives vary.

The migrants want to get out of poverty. They are in poverty in their home countries in part because the US dollar is the global reserve currency. It allows the US to constantly run a trade deficit. We export freshly printed cash -- electronic cash at that -- in exchange for the labor and production of the world. That lets the US basically enslave the world, depriving them of the goods and services that are being unfairly sent to the USA. So the world exports goods to the USA, and the USA replies sends cash dollars that basically go only to the elite in these 3rd world countries, not to the populous.

Those in poverty see the US awash in cash and want to claim their share, so they migrate to the USA.

US Elite are happy to have them come for political power purposes.

End the US global reserve currency status and the trade imbalance ends, which brings average people in 3rd world countries more access to goods that are currently being unfairly sent to the USA.

That's my theory, anyway.

We worked so many concerts a lot of it is just a blur now. But there are some things that stick in your memory even with the meningitis.

It was like one show at the World Music Theater in Tinley Park, Illinois. I was standing on the ramp that was where the back stage entrance was at.

These four body builder dudes bullied their way down front and tried to slide into the 2nd row. I jumped off the ramp and said, "Get out of here NOW!"

One guy wanted to stand in my face but his buddy grabbed his arm and dragged him away. They slid into the sides of the rows above. So, I lined up some back up. We had Vinnie White on our crew. He was our body builder.

Then i wen t and picked the wimpiest one oof the four. 'let's see your ticket." "You have a Lawn ticket. You can't be down here."

They tried to surround me. I flashed the flashlight and see bodies coming my way. I put up the flashlight and turn around. The same guy that was standing in front of me before was standing there again. I said to him, 'You don't understand English/ You have to go upstairs. He wouldn't move so I hit him under the Pecs and rocked him back on his heels.

The guy behind him threw a beer in my face. I wiped it out of one eye THATFAST so I could see. I knocked this guy into the wall and went after the guy that threw the beer in my face.

I caught him around the corner at top of ramp. Frankie was by the front gate. he told the cops, "Look. Fight."

Then that guy I knocked into the wall grabbed my shirt with both hands. I said, "Get our hands off me." I knocked his hands off and reached up and pulled him down into a headlock. Then I put my arm on the other guy's throat. I had two of them.

By the time the cops got there from the front gate the fight was over.

Guys were coming from under the pavilion to get in on the fight. One of our guys standing at the top of the ramp didn't make a move to try to help. He wanted to shake my hand.

I told him, "Next time you stand there and do nothing to help, I'm going to kick your ass too."

Some of these guys wanted to be on the crew so they could listen to the music. They weren't about to get into any altercations.

Besides, how do you think those four guys got down front? The got past HIM. ;)

I went to a hippyfest once in Germany with Punk once, during the Cold War, UB40, maybe? She killed everybody there. The CIA covered up the whole event.

Google it.

Sometime killing every one at hippy festivals is the right thing to do. Didn't work out too well for Hamas, but Live and Learn that's what I always say! :)

Never fuck with Deep State sanctioned hippy plants, I guess?
