And where do your stats come from? Do they account for the current cost of living crisis that’s affecting the average person globally? Inflation? Where I am, living on a single income for a family means that you’re likely either in the top 10% of wealth or you’re struggling in poverty.
Additionally, your statement ignores that someone has gone to a university graduation ceremony and made derogatory remarks to the female students who’ve worked hard to get to where they are.
When people find themselves in stress, they will always vote conservative to ensure their own survival. Right now, many young people can’t afford housing, they have to spend more time working than living. This is not surprising.
I want complete control of my technology after I buy it. I don’t want my phone to assume things that I like based on my input. If something goes wrong, I want it to be my fault because I enabled the wrong setting. I also want physical buttons. I miss those so much.
Replace unskilled jobs with UBI jobs.
Not when that package is more than what the company makes.
Hahaha. Even if there WERE lots of women who wanted to be homemakers, there is no way that a family can run on the average single income. So, somebody has been telling diabolical lies to him about the current economy.
Two tomato plants far exceeded what we needed. We sacrificed the remainder to the possums and birds.
I will never stop saying “shiver me timbers”
…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.
But there’s no UBI to allow the person without a job to skil upl into something else that a robot can’t do.
Replace all roads with free mass transit. That should work.
But all the lobbying has already happened - for decades - and nothing has changed. Fossil fuel companies have poured in billions over the course of decades, and still are, to counter lobby and spread misinformation to keep the status quo.
You’re only seeing the ‘performative’ protesting in the media and not the lobbying because it’s easy to report on, but in reality this movement is on its last legs. It is THAT level of desperation now.
Do you think they’d still be protesting if the government actually implemented the policies brought forward by climate scientists decades ago?
Not a good idea to put all your eggs into one basket when running a business, mate. You always run multiple projects, and it doesn’t have to be games, to continue the cashflow.
It depends on whether the game was designed with shareholders in mind or the player. Most AAA games are designed with profit in mind rather than what’s fun. For example, buying skins and doing the same thing on repeat is not fun. Roleplaying as Starship troopers with your friends is fun.
To The Moon; Once you go through the experience of the story, there’s really no need to replay again.
I wear a capelet in winter and it doesn’t work well with my backpack. I suppose I could design a front wearing pack to carry my laptop.
They might commute if it was easy and cheaper than what they’re paid. You want workers, make it worth their while.
That’s where automation comes in to do the menial repetitive jobs and the remaining humans take on more complex tasks. Everything will work itself out.
I’m not American, and just wondering if it’s a requirement to have the $600/m taken from your pay, which I’m assuming is for health insurance? That’s a crazy amount to throw away every year, especially if you still have to pay extra for treatments that you need for functioning.
