So what makes a working person more pissed off than their boss micro-managing them? Knowing that 90 mill people choose not to work. But how could this be? Doesn't everybody need to work in this industrialized civilization to make it 'work'? Could it be true that the great lie of the post war industrialized world of more of everything, and less work for everyone(except the worker) might actually be true?

 

Could it be that the economics of having everyone employed would actually bring on the downfall of the system/economy/society/environment? Or is it possible that in reality we really don't need everyone to be employed?

 

Well golly gee whiz bang boom, happy days ahead.

what constitutes the 90 million people? Last I heard, minors could not work the factory lines. Also who wants some 80 year old to work the drive through. Of the 90 million, how many are of working ages and not in college and not homeless and not homemakers and any other reasonable excuse?

 

for an old larry guy, you sure get your panties in a wad on silly things

Glad you got my pointless point.

Postcapitalist, postconsumerist, postindustrial society.

 

Back in the 1950s they predicted that when robots were perfected humans would live idle lives of ease, free from the demand of toilimng in the factories.

 

Outsourcing takes the robots and replaces them with the Chinese and Indians.
