Dyer: With automation (not trade or immigrants, as Trump claims) taking jobs, it’s time to consider a universal basic income

Dyer: With automation (not trade or immigrants, as Trump claims) taking jobs, it’s time to consider a universal basic income

The main message of 2016 was that we are entering a period of economic and political upheaval comparable to the industrial revolution of 1780-1850, and nothing expressed that message more clearly than Donald Trump’s appointment of Andrew Puzder as secretary of labour — even though it’s clear that neither man understands the message.

Puzder bears a large part of the responsibility for giving space for Trump’s election promise to “bring back” America’s lost industrial jobs: seven million in the past 35 years. That’s what created the Rust Belt and the popular anger that put Trump in power.

Puzder is a fast-food […]

A stronger economy won’t save obsolete jobs

A stronger economy won't save obsolete jobs

Automated robots build a 2015 Chrysler 200 automobile at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., in March 2014. In South Africa, people who speak Afrikaans use the word "robot" to mean the same thing it means in English. But it is also the word for "traffic light." Why? Before automated signals, motorists on busy streets were directed by police officers standing on platforms. Those cops were automated out of a job.

This bit of trivia comes from the dazzling new book "Bourgeois Equality: How Ideas, Not Capital or Institutions, Enriched the World," by University of Illinois at […]

iPhone manufacturer Foxconn plans to replace almost every human worker with robots

iPhone manufacturer Foxconn plans to replace almost every human worker with robots

Foxconn, the Taiwanese manufacturing giant behind Apple’s iPhone and numerous other major electronics devices, aims to automate away a vast majority of its human employees, according to a report from DigiTimes . Dai Jia-peng, the general manager of Foxconn’s automation committee, says the company has a three-phase plan in place to automate its Chinese factories using software and in-house robotics units, known as Foxbots.

The first phase of Foxconn’s automation plans involve replacing the work that is either dangerous or involves repetitious labor humans are unwilling to do. The second phase involves improving efficiency by streamlining production lines to reduce […]

Basic Income Is Coming, Let’s Pay For It With Legal Drugs

FUCKING COMMUNISM! BLASPHEMY!

I know what you’re thinking- get this goddamn liberal horse shit out of here – but hear me out. Karl Marx can suck a dick. Reagan’s immortal soul will trickle down from heaven for eternity, praised be his name, Amen.

The Great American Experiment has been chuggin’ along just fine for centuries now. Socialism and all the other left wing–isms have failed throughout history, time and time again.Socialism is a broken record of human stupidity.Some say this time round is no different. Any socialist shit will eventually be flushed down the toilets of history as another failed experiment […]

Here’s what will happen when millions of jobs are lost to robots

Here's what will happen when millions of jobs are lost to robots

On the stump in 2016, both candidates talked about creating jobs, taxes, the economy, and trade. But what neither talked about was perhaps the greatest threat to economic security in the future: automation and computerization.

Take, for example, the number one job held by men today: Nearly 3 million of them are truck drivers. What will happen to them in a decade when Daimler expects its self-driving 18-wheeler now being tested in the Nevada desert to be ready for the road? How about the top job among women, that of administrative assistant? Technology already has wiped away many of those […]

Why iPhone production isn’t coming to the United States

Why iPhone production isn’t coming to the United States

iPhone-6s batt Apple is not the top seller of smartphones in the world — not even close. It does, however, have the vast majority of smartphone profits in the world with an estimated 90%. The margins on Apple’s hardware are so large that it can out earn OEMs that sell several times as many phones. There’s been a lot of talk about encouraging the manufacturing of electronics in the US with the incoming Trump administration, but is it even feasible to build an iPhone in the US? If Apple built them in the US, would that really create many […]

Guaranteed income and tax equality: what the Swiss public said no to in 2016

Guaranteed income and tax equality: what the Swiss public said no to in 2016 The ideas they dismissed included a radical plan to provide a basic income of 2,500 francs for every Swiss resident, another suggesting that foreign criminals guilty of minor crimes should be deported , and the ‘AVSPlus’ initiative which called for a ten percent increase in pension payments .

The last to be rejected, in November, had proposed Switzerland begin its withdrawal from nuclear power in 2017 .

The popular initiative that came closest to winning the public over, put to the vote in February, called for tax […]

How robots will change the workforce

SAN DIEGO: Thirty of the world’s top scientists are scheduled to meet at the University of California at San Diego in February to discuss the toughest challenges in robotics and automation, including how to make driverless cars safe for a mass audience.

The experts are being brought together by Henrik Christensen, the prominent Georgia Tech engineer who was hired in July to run UC San Diego’s young Contextual Robotics Institute.

Christensen said at the time, “I want to build a research institute that, ideally, will be in the top five in the world five years from now. Why not see if […]
