Title: bluegrass primitive afraid of robots and technology

"Businesses will use their tax cut to hire more workers..." is highly unlikely.

It flies in the face of reality. Businesses are moving toward more robots and technology, not more workers. That is the reality. Less and less workers will be needed in our new labor force.

This is the reality our politicians need to come to grips with. Businesses are not going to hire more workers. Even coal mines have moved to new technology and no longer need the miners they once needed. It is prevalent across our entire economy.

So, when the Republicans insist that businesses will hire more workers with their tax cut, let us recognize it for the lie that it is.

If "Businesses are moving toward more robots and technology", then how would keeping corporate tax rates the same prevent that from happening? The primitives can't answer that.

If I were a business owner that could replace workers with robots, higher taxes would cause me to change over more quickly, not less. Payroll is always the highest expense, and if robots lowered that, then all the better. But with lower corporate taxes, my need to be more urgent about bringing in robots in order to lower expenses is no longer as pressing. Not saying it won't happen, just not as urgently as before.

The bluegrass primitive would have made the same arguments against the assembly line back at the turn of the 20th Century, or even the cotton gin. Same scare tactics, and yet new industries emerge to facilitate the new technology. In the libs world, that reality just never took place.

But the primitives fall right in line with the bluegrass primitive like the simple-minded lemmings they are.

Why are DUmmies anti-science/technology?

 :banghead:  :thatsright: Reality is that humans design and build those robots and the computers that control them. Reality is that humans will install them. Reality is that humans will operate, maintain, upgrade, and replace them. :thatsright:  :banghead:

Cars put buggy whip makers and wagon makers out of business, but replaced them with new businesses that needed people with different skills. Computers put typewriter factories out of business, but new factories and supporting businesses took their place, and demanded different skills. kt is a Luddite who thinks 21st Century jobs should require only 19th and early 20th Century skills. He is self-blinded to 21st Century jobs that use 21st Century skills.

Or maybe ht knows Americans will benefit but hopes they can be discouraged from enjoying those benefits.

Reality says that robots help to lower costs for manufacturers. Cutting taxes do the same thing and may help to slow the switch to automation.

 However, some idiots are driving the switch to automation even faster. Fast food places are finding ways of Fighting Against $15, by using automation.

100yrs ago everyone owned a horse and only the very rich had cars. Today, everyone owns a car and only the rich have horses.

Oh how the stables have turned.

Robots replace mostly low skilled or no skilled workers. Building, maintaining and repairing robots are skilled high paying jobs. Unfortunately dummie and illegals who can't speak english or read and have no education are the ones losing the low paying entry level jobe.

How ever there is a solution, learn a trade, forget going to get a degreein lezbonics, african studdies or some other bull shit thing like that.

MAGA learn a trade & MAGA

This. Learn a trade. The DUmmies think if you don’t have a degree you’re ignorant. They believe the only way to education is through the government. I have news for them they won’t like. My grammar and spelling is better than the the ones on their site that claim to be college professors. My education has been the school of hard knocks, and I make well over $100k/year.

DUmmies, you don’t talk over our heads, it’s what you say that turns mostof us off. We understand that you don’t. Good luck with that.

And the people who shoveled horse shit for a living got jobs fixing cars.

 :hi5: earned and issued!  :cheersmate:

Libs & Progs have dumbed down the education system so much that they have resorted to trying to remake the entry-level jobs high school and college kids used to take as their entree into the working world into careers on which families with kids can be supported. One of the things that truly PO me is how many social-program-dependents' hands in my pocket got there by screwing around in school (literally and metaphorically!) and/or taking college majors that don't even prepare them for being a burger-flipper or barista!
