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.
