Amazon Will Cost Millions of Jobs In Thr Future?

They won't, people will have change jobs, and there is nothing you can do to stop that. In regards to electric cars the traditional car companies will have to learn to compete or die.

And, if the jobs aren't there to change to??

If there aren't jobs that means people don't want things. That's never happened.

That's true, but a year before he was caught, if I would have blasted him for his illgotten wealth, I would have been accused of being "jealous" of him by most conservatives (and a heck of a lot of democrats). And there actually were several groups of people who tried to have him investigated on the bases that his claims weren't mathematically possible, but they were ignored or told that Mr. Madeoff was of unimpeachable character.

Great wealth is rarely obtained by hard work alone, it comes only with either a heaping dose of luck, cronieism, or corruption (or a combination of all of the above). No human being is a million times more industrious than the average human being.

Obviously you have never worked with the average human being. The average human being does as little as possible and needs a supervisor or they will never get any work done.

We've never had the level of automation and technology that we will have in another 10 or 20 or 50 years.

You don't really think that factories are going to continue to pay fork lift drivers $50k/hr when a robotic fork lift can do the same thing (except more accurately with less chance of human injury and without talking back or stealing) for maybe $20k/yr (total operating and amortization cost) do you?

That's my point. A lot of jobs are going to go away, and there is no replacement job for them , due to automations and AI. For example, truck drivers, and taxi drivers will go away once there is a 5G network all over the place, and self driving cars. Among the casualties will be lawyers, due to AI., so about 50% of the lawyers jobs will go away.

Some estimates think that within 25 years, 47% of the jobs we have now will just disappear.. without having another job replace them.

Change is not always good. How will shopping mall and other retail outlets survive the Amazon type businesses? How ill auto related businesses survive the onslaught of electric cars? This will be nation wide unemployment in the future. So how will these jobs be replaced?

most of the unemployed will go to work for the defense contractors & the military, you know, the 'military industrial complex'

the others can work for the police state apparatus & the prisons

110% full employment & everybody is happy :mrgreen:

this is 100% true. the more money saving robots there are the more money there is available for human jobs. And, the more robots make the more consumers they will need to buy the efficiently produced robot output. This is econ 101 and a liberal could not understand it after 100 years of trying.

Many seem to think that technology will always create new jobs as it replaces jobs. I say this will come to an end sooner rather than later. At some point in the not so distant future, my guess is < 60 years, robotics and AI will be smarter, stronger, faster, and cheaper than its human counterpart and will be able to perform nearly every task. When that point is reached what motivation would a company have to hire an inferior more expensive human?

If current behavior is any indication companies will not hire humans for the sake of maintaining human employment they will instead simply chase any global market that has capital to extract. That will mean some very tough times for many people unless this cycle is forced to change.

I already told you. if they don't hire humans then humans don't have money and there is no point in robots making things to sell to humans who don't have money with which to buy. 1+1=2. This is a subject called Economics and liberals simple don't have the IQ to understand it.
