[QUOTE="JTL, post: 847192, member: 49289"] Trouble is this is upon us right now not down the road. We are not prepared. The entire monetary system we have is built on consumerism .... if we stop consuming the whole thing collapses. In times past machines have put people out of work only to re employ those people doing different things. This time it's very different. Our machines are now intelligent. The machines can build machines even design the next generation. The case I quoted in China is a company with a dreadful employment history conditions pay etc. It employs over a million people assembling electronics but the robots are not bothered about pay and conditions and cost less than fifty grand. It is quite frightening that robots can replace that million strong workforce and no one in business or politics has an answer to what happens to that million people. The next phase of supermarket lay off's will start happening this year as smart trolleys and tagged goods come into operation. You pick a product up check it out put it back on the shelf but .... put it in the trolley and the price is deducted from your bank account there and then .... one item at a time. If you change your mind and put the product back then you will be immediately refunded your electronic digits. This is now not some time down the road. The first unstaffed fast food places will appear this year too. It's quite disturbing and makes me wonder if this wealth grab .... this looting of the western world by those at the top are connected. Capitalism has come up against a brick wall. Back to bed .... [/QUOTE]
