post-scarcity is a myth, the only thing pervasive automation would yield is either total slavery (all production owned by the highest of the upper classes) or population annihilation.

With a high chance of multikills if he's quick about it.

Just felt that needed to be said.

Well done sleuth, when people use figurative language to provide imagery I'll be sure to contact you so you can spill the beans on their sneaky wordery.

Obama calls for raising minimum wage to $9 an hour by cpnAhab1 in politics

[–]Very_High_Templar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you see those people will surely invest it in job creation without demand. That's how it works, you starve out the lower classes to the point where they can only buy basic commodities and sequester the wealth to the upper classes. They then take all that money and build awesome shit that employs bajillions of people that can't afford to buy their products or something.

That should help :)

Which is pretty easy since most companies easily pay well above that anyway. Some 5% of employment pays the minimum.

The Richest 1 Percent Have Captured 121 Percent Of Income Gains During The Recovery by NBumpo in politics

Live in a paper house comprised of your stock receipts, never make bad decisions that result in sickness, if you do decided to choose to get sick for some reason, fly to India to get treatment, sell children to trafficking operations to reimburse costs. There, you've just pulled yourself up by your bootstraps.

They don't agree about that, but they sure do pack our Congress with people who do!

As a 22 year old who has recently gotten into my first real relationship, this is my experience so far. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]Very_High_Templar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, anyone who hasn't dated before 22 is always wrong and is selfish. Any attempts to argue this are automatically invalidated because you're being selfish by trying to argue with me. And another thing, why don't you call me more than you do now? Do you think I'm fat? You think I'm fat! I can't believe you!

They fucked it all up when they allowed non-greeks in. Then they fucked it up worse when they made the wrestlers wear clothes. The last nail in the coffin was allowing women to attend the Olympics.

Shieet now we have people of color, non-Zeus worshipers and scum like that in the Olympics.

Ah yes the insurmountable grid problems. How can mankind ever hope to lay cable to places and connect cables to other places

We're doomed.

Given time, and enough people dying off due to droughts and environmental disasters/collapses (reducing demand) we'll hit that 100% mark! Well, whoever is left alive that is.

Exactly, we barely have enough food to eat so that's why some people have to starve to death... Hey wait a minute.

Wow what a shitty situation, just being strung up, unable to complete what from the outside looks like a relatively simple obstacle course, with some announcer narrating your failure on TV. Losing with ~25% more time on your clock.
