    Then you stop using that land to grow feed and let nature do its thing and the people working that land can just go work somewhere where there’s demand.

    Should we have stopped telecommunication progress to keep the switchboard operators working?

      “the people working that land can just go work somewhere where there’s demand.”

      So easy to say when it’s not your job isn’t it.

      Now, I don’t know what you do to make a living, but with AI, your job as a programmer should just go away and you should find a different job where there is demand - maybe you could be a servant or stock shelves. It’s so easy to do so, just go somewhere else.

        Again, should we stop all progress so as not to eliminate jobs that would otherwise become unnecessary?

            What do you know about the field I work in and its necessity in the long run?

            And again, are you saying that we should stop progress because some people will lose their job? How hard is it to answer that question?

              I don’t know what you do for a living. But the odds are that at some point technology will find a way to make it less necessary. You will very likely become surplus to needs. And that will most likely happen when you are nearing the end of your working life. What do you do then?

              So the issue is, what do you do with those people who no longer have a job? Can you afford to spend the money and years that might be required to retrain a, let’s say a 50 year old truck driver for another job? And remember that not everyone can be retrained.

              Start thinking beyond the end of your nose and look at the broader picture.

                  Are You Saying We Should Let People Starve And Die Because They Can’t Learn A New Job Skill? Advance Or Die!

                  If so,that’s spoken like a true Trumper…

                    You’re dodging the question
