Karl Marx came along after the industrial revolution and felt everything that could be invented had been invented and that the problem of the day was how to control labor and distribute the great wealth brought about by industrialization.

Of course he was wrong. People are more than cogs in a machine - machines became the cogs in larger machines... People are talking the same way now - which is nuts.

There will always be new challenges, new jobs that employ millions of people in fields that don't even exist today.

Any system that denigrates individuality and liberty is unjust, and it and its advocates have no complaint coming for what we'll do to them.

Do you think that it a coincidence that the Dems are pushing for $15 an hour for minimum wage and the big tech companies own the Dem party? When human labor becomes to expensive to afford, big companies will now have a handy excuse to bring in robots and AI.

My guess, instead of govts taxing labor they will tax production, and people will get a stipend. And these people will get obese watching TV 24/7.
