Greetings good citizen,
I feel good today (despite the gods having gone mad!) Which seems to be today’s theme. Yesterday I complained about society losing its values, today we will take in the leading headlines and scratch our heads, wondering what ‘our betters’ were thinking…because it is obvious they weren’t!
The fly in this ointment is a society filled with robots needs nothing but the energy to power them, there is no ‘economy’ for robots.
Do we really need to ask HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE to not understand that?
And yeah, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t thoroughly enjoy kicking the capitalists in the shins every chance I get!
Because it is capitalist stupidity that gives us stories like this:
Was it an accident or by design that the corporate owned media runs the ‘perfect’ follow up story next?
Although it has become the hallmark of capitalist stupidity that people who can’t afford your products won’t buy them, so cutting heads when sales drop is not an ‘effective strategy’.
Oh, and since robots don’t get paychecks (or benefit packages) they also don’t buy your products!
Bottom line. The same people who can no longer afford to pay for your products will eventually STEAL them…but you’re insured, right?
And when the heads you’ve cut burn your plant down, same answer, right? (Naturally, you re-open in China!) But your new employee/customers won’t be able to afford our products either so what will you do?
Same thing as these guys?
How sad is it good citizen that we lack a unifying ideology? [Like A Simple Plan?]
Like a ticking time bomb, how long do you think we have before this bad boy blows?
Sure looks to me like that headline is missing an ‘s’, should read ’points’ but hey, I just cut and paste, ya know?
What’s up with the mixed message? On one hand they are, er, ‘asserting’ that conditions in the euro-zone are ‘improving’ then they point to sky-high unemployment and shrug…
Did I mention our civilization is SEVERELY ‘mismanaged’?
These people shouldn’t just be fired, they should be made to walk the plank into shark infested water (but that would constitute cruelty towards sharks!)
No living organism can eat that many ‘empty calories’ without being adversely effected.
I am no Luddite good citizen. In many cases automation is a larger boon to the employee than it is to the employer.
What I am pointing to is SOME things can tolerate automation and others CAN’T. Wisdom needs to be exercised rather than idiotic profit/loss ratios.
Our civilization is collapsing because society has become unbalanced due to the reckless/relentless pursuit of profits.
When profits supercede people without mitigating factors it is beyond destructive, it is catastrophic!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Robot Makers Spread Global Gospel of AutomationRead the last line and marvel over the twit who stated it! Employers LOVE robots, they will work around the clock without taking a break, doing whatever it is they were designed to do, until they break.
By JOHN MARKOFF
Manufacturers of robots and similar machines gathered in Chicago, casting automation as an indispensable engine of economic growth.
The fly in this ointment is a society filled with robots needs nothing but the energy to power them, there is no ‘economy’ for robots.

BUSINESSHold everything! I thing we found the twit who think robots are the answer to the automation problem [idiots!]

Share of the Work Force in a Union Falls to a 97-Year Low, 11.3%That’s the other thing employers LOVE about robots! They don’t join unions! So the union isn’t in their face demanding more humane working conditions and that demand they really hate, more wages!
By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the percentage of American workers in labor unions fell to 11.3 percent last year, the lowest since 11.2 percent in 1916.

Nokia Shows a Profit, but Shares DropThe homeless don’t need a phone, nobody they want to talk to that isn’t within arm’s reach…which is the fertile soil revolutions are sown in.
