While some hippies and agrarian poets may disagree, most people wouldn’t say we’d be better off if seven out of ten people still did backbreaking labor on farms.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss that. Honestly.

The big issue is one we HAVE to face and deal with. What are you going to do with the majority of people who do not have the skills, desire, or the demand to service the machines?

Look at what happened when Rome replaced it's expensive labor with slaves.

Our government has been subsidizing the production of non-essential, non-productive citizens for some time. Their sole purpose is to keep one party in power. We’re at overstock levels now. Call it the useless voter bubble.

I’ve asked other the same question. “What do we do with them?” I haven’t received any good answers.
