Jack Saturday: Steel Collar Workers Update

Thursday, November 11, 2010

Thankyou for posting this- I am very pleased to see that people are finally starting to recognize the major impact robotics and automation are having on the economy and society. I can only hope the issue comes to the forefront and becomes a major topic of debate. It's shocking to me that with all the talk about outsourcing and illegal immigration in the United States and how they are "taking our jobs", there's hardly ever a mention of the MUCH greater impact from technological progress and efficiency.

Never mind what Bucky Fuller told us in the 1960s and 1980S, that the automation then available could give everyone on the planet a higher standard of living than all of yesterday’s kings using clean energy while eliminating the “nonsense”(Fuller’s word) of the job system and its vast exploitation.
