We need to lesson the work week (with the same pay) and obtain full employment or the equivelant. That would be the arc of civilization A progression in the human condition that has been occurring for centuries And would cement the American experiment as truly historic if we could allow such benefits to accrue to ordinary citizens Somehow our system has fallen into the hands of a greedy minority which has found ways to divert the benefits of economic and technological advances into wealth for a few ...the political action arm of which is the GOP

Have you ever seen any conservative put forth sophisticated social programming? We need to lesson the work week (with the same pay) and obtain full employment or the equivelant. Robots should be put to work for society in general, not just the rich plutocrats. That will require a major rethinking of the type only the liberal is prepared to do; and we need full backing and envolvment of the government. Think pubs will go for that? Pubs are still fighting the New Deal-lol. Well, inasmuch as human obsolescence threatens a whole lot of human freedoms and individual dignities I would think this, as time progresses, might move to the top of the conservatives agenda.
