Will Automation Replace Jobs? How can businesses balance technological advancements with protecting employment opportunities?

We need to rephrase the conversation. Right now its: "how do we protect jobs?". This is the wrong discourse. The conversation should be "how do we secure a decent lifestyle for all?". These conversations always go down the wrong path. People work so that they can live – work is the MEANS, not the GOAL.

Now, our puritan guilt immediately kicks in as soon as anyone suggests universal care for others because we’ve all been indoctrinated to think "wHaT aBoUt LaZy pEoPlE" and the disdain for the notion that the lazy, good for nothing, "unworthy" class might benefit from the […]
