[Eric Pode of Croydon]

What do you propose to do with all the increasingly unemployed and underemployed people down the road?

That's actually a very good question.

Every major business in every country has very talented people working on how to produce more with fewer workers.

And they will continue to do so, because your retirement fund and mine are managed by people who seek out the companies who bring in the best bottom lines.

We need to seriously think about an economic model that works in a world where we can produce everything we are producing now (and more) with half the employees.

Trying to turn back the clock to the assembly lines of 1955 is not the answer.

You could just round them up into gas chambers. Then the handful of people who control production could keep their “freedom”.
