At the end of the first term whoever is in the WH will be facing a jobs crisis

[CK_John]

that will lead up to 70% out of work. The transformation from labor to robots will start to destabilize every system for at least 30-50 yrs.

I think people are already starting to panic and voting will be more irrrational than usual.

Does it matter who is in the office?

1. Do you have a reference to your claim that ...

WH will be facing a jobs crisis that will lead up to 70% out of work? (I find the claim to be incredible)

3. Google introduced their robot

A month ago as the end of manual labor. They weren't kidding. Check out Google robot and then look on YouTube for video "humans need not apply" ,Its real, robots will be here and soon.

5. I believe we are at 20% now so another increase of 50% to me

over the next 4 to 8 yrs seems about right.

2. Ah, 'Susie Sunshine' is back....

Should we slit our wrists now or do we have a few weeks?

4. Yes because in the next few years there will be at least a couple Supreme Court appointments.

And because if Trump is in office his finger will be on the nuclear button.

6. It's a worldwide problem and we are not the center.

7. We easily could be if Trump reacted in narcissistic rage. n/t

13. Supreme court has nothing to do with the economy

[pnwmom]

14. The question was whether it matters who will be in office.

Regardless of the economy, the next few appointments will be critical.

But it is possible that the Supremes could be asked to rule on questions that could affect the economy. We don't know.

8. It's pretty damn certain that there will be another recession, and who knows how bad it will get

I'm really surprised why Hillary or Trump would want to be in office when the next recession hits.

2016 will not be Clinton vs Bush, because the world be quite different and

those names generate a been there done that attitude.

The cyber era will produce new players. My pick is Sen Gillibrand (D-NY) vs former senator/male model of Massachusetts, Scott Brown.

Too bad we have to wait 31/2 yr to find out.

I suspect that your latest prediction will prove equally on target.

11. 2016 is not over and I'm glad you waited.

10. There will be a job problem, but not because of AI

I read detailed analyses on AI and jobs: the risk is on 10 to 20% of jobs, and certainly not at the rate you're indicating.

However the 2008 crisis has been soothed for a decade with barrels of fiat money: there is a significative risk the underlying crisis ballooned under the bandages.

If there is indeed a jobs crisis in the West + a continuation of worldwide Islamic terror, we enter a 1930's situation..

12. Yes it matters !

[riderinthestorm]

15. Climate change means politics as we know it will be irrevocably changed

That's the biggest crisis and by 2020, it certainly won't matter whose in office anymore. The die will be set.

[n2doc]

16. If that were to happen you would see monkey wrenching on a vast scale n/t

[ghostsinthemachine]

17. Humans need not apply (must watch)

[CK_John]

21. Thanks for that, I've begin looking for something that put it in

prospective.

Short and to the point.

19. If there are federal jobs programs in the future,

they just need to find a way to make sure that the distribution of jobs is objective and gets to everyone without hitches. If they just give money to the State and Local governments to dispense, it will just turn into a crony distribution, reinforcing networks that undermine a fair process.

20. With basically the same Congress as now why will they do any better than now.
