Sometimes i wish more and more people get fired from their jobs [View all]

[Joel thakkar]

Sometimes i wish more and more people get fired from their jobs and get replaced by new tech/machines/computers.

Thus, comes a tipping point where big business owners understand that now their customer is not having enough money to buy their products/services and they understand that every adult should be now provided with universal income..

Thus, people can live their life happily and can spend their time on some other creative work or spending more time with family or travelling around and knowing different places.

I know the process will be hard as people starts getting replaced and in the mean while they don't have much option until the politicians under the pressure of large population introduces a universal income.

The only thing which can expedite this process is mass firing of people (which is only possible during few months in deep recession)...or large amount of youth employment (older people getting retired...and now their jobs replaced by machines/tech/computers instead of youth)..

As youth employment is high in many developed countries, eventually, it may go in any of the one directions

1) Youth getting desperate and demanding universal income for them..

2) Industrialist pressuring politicians to removing (or not increasing) the minimum wage + health benefits etc...from the workers. Thus, get they to exploit them so that desperate youth may start working for them on slave wages (which will be low cost or similar cost in comparison to machines/tech/computers)...

Thus, do you think that if we keep fighting for more minimum wage + worker benefits...a scenario 1 (where people get universal income) will come ? or is it just a utopia which will never happen in real life ?
