My question is always, “okay you tell me how this works when 70% of your population is incapable of doing high tech and they need jobs and those jobs are gone?” They always want to say the patent answer, “businesses are in business to make money and not make jobs.”Exactly. And they never examine the ultimate conclusions of following that line to its end. We have to be more proactive in our thinking on this.
How far can we expand?The universe has proven to be very wide and vast. Lot of space to do things in. Even if we do them slowly.
