My buddy Bob commented as follows:



“The American doctor is wrong. Millions of people here

have stopped looking for work, and have gone on the

dole. After all - why work, if govt will send you a check

every week, giving you plenty of free time to find other

tax-free means to more income, like run a few drugs,

burgle a house or two, or pimp out your neighbor's

daughter? This is america today. work is a thing of

the past. Obama's "hope and change" have brought us

into the modern era.



Seriously, i think we are on the doorstep of the "robot

era", where robots take over more and more jobs.

People without superior education and/or superior

creativity are going to lose all those lower-level but

secure jobs (with retirement benefits). And in a few

years, as robots get more and more refined, it will be

the semi-skilled people who get fired. and management

jobs will quickly follow; the robots will do most of that

too. Humans will almost become obsolete. Which may

bring about the biggest societal challenges we have ever faced.
