They said the same thing with computers. People would work less. Complete BS. We work more now than ever before. Automation, yes it will kill industries but new ones emerge.      4951

With far more available potential workers than jobs, minimum wage with no benefits will become more prevalent. 4951

@plakata:  I hope we invent a Men in Black flash can prevent pregnancy right after sex. That one invention alone would solve most of our problems.  4951

Closing our boarders would solve many more @beastmodeEmoticon@teatime, I think with more and better graphics, a lot of actors will be out of a job.

This is the latest design. Solar and publicly financed is on the table. It may not costs taxpayers a dime. Higher it goes more power it generates. 4951

@Fallon: Why keep those that spell well out.  John Q. Smith isn't winning the spelling bee any time soon.

Human labor is not a finite resource. There will always be a demand for it.  Robotic laborers will only redistribute the demand of human labor among other fields. The price of labor will be redistributed among other occupational fields to reflect the change in demand. Emoticoneople will need to diversify their skillset and will need to be willing to reinvest in themselves.
 
Zuckerberg and other "elites" are simply looking for an excuse to impose their liberal utopian vision. 4951

@Spork: And how do you propose coal miners, couriers, cashiers and other marginally educated workers diversify their non-existent or job/industry skill set.   Reinvestment implies expenditure.  Who will pay for that reinvestment?  The unemployed or underemployed person will likely not be able to do so.  The PRWOA of 1996 required that beneficiaries of certain public benefits either work or attend school.  It did not have the intended effect because the requirements were waived if there was no work within a reasonable distance or sanctioned educational programs were not provided by the states.  The work was a major problem in rural areas and the vast majority of states failed in setting up educational opportunities that they themselves would sanction.  In Appalachia, there are programs to retrain coal worker as healthcare workers and in IT occupations.  Lots of money spent unwisely,  Those worker's traits are proving to be incompatible with acquiring the skills for those fields.

@plakata: Above. Solar wall stretching hundreds of miles. All those solar panels require maintenance. Companies to keep the supply stocked. People to repair it when breached. Improvements. Guess who is going to want that wall? Other countries. That wall will lead to other solar innovations since the government will contract out open source software and technology. Anyone can take those blueprints and do what they want with it. Solar fences for their property....this is what we do. 4951

Who will pay for that reinvestment? 

@plakata:
 
Who paid for it when machines replaced manual labor during all previous eras of change? Why should this next phase of constant, predictable change be any different?  Who is the best person to determine what retraining needs to happen, who must receive it, and who must pay for it?
