The next WH "occupant" thinks we need shipbuilding, iron works and coal mining skills (mining jobs are being automated with current technology) - Welcome to Luddite-opia

1. interesting to see what deniers will say to this but the President should go further:

The Impact of Automation is made worse by our profit models which throw workers under the bus. Maybe Democrats should focus, as well, on bad management practices that place zero value on human capital.

3. There is a new reality starting in the modern, industrialized nations.

The producer and consumer are the two sides of the equation of capitalism.

Robots and technology produce, but they don't buy and consume what they produce.

As our paid human labor disappears, so will the need to produce goods based on demand impeded by lack of capital for the exchange, to balance the equation.

Long story short: "Syria" - just the tip of a titanic iceberg coming at us!
