When it becomes really advanced (we could even do it now, actually), we replace all upper management jobs and leaving human work to human workers, e.g. customer service, healthcare, arts and culture etc.

Set up automatic bank transfers to chop your income into % parts: 5% play money, 20% savings, bills etc. do what works for you. Get rid of unnecessary subscriptions.
Welcome to the new era of enshittification where you’ll eventually have to subscribe to access or make posts, and none of it will be searchable on any search engines.
Subscriptions.
I think it’s more:
Or it could be the rulling class takes the biggest cut, clergy the next biggest etc. with workers at the bottom supporting the entire system but receiving the least.
And where do your stats come from? Do they account for the current cost of living crisis that’s affecting the average person globally? Inflation? Where I am, living on a single income for a family means that you’re likely either in the top 10% of wealth or you’re struggling in poverty.
Additionally, your statement ignores that someone has gone to a university graduation ceremony and made derogatory remarks to the female students who’ve worked hard to get to where they are.
When people find themselves in stress, they will always vote conservative to ensure their own survival. Right now, many young people can’t afford housing, they have to spend more time working than living. This is not surprising.
Happy birthday. I turned 40 this week too. Yay us.
I want complete control of my technology after I buy it. I don’t want my phone to assume things that I like based on my input. If something goes wrong, I want it to be my fault because I enabled the wrong setting. I also want physical buttons. I miss those so much.
Not when that package is more than what the company makes.
Hahaha. Even if there WERE lots of women who wanted to be homemakers, there is no way that a family can run on the average single income. So, somebody has been telling diabolical lies to him about the current economy.
Japan has pretty strict gun control, don’t they?
…And now with even more people lining up for those jobs because others have been taken by automation. That and in order to make a living you need to do at least two jobs per household.
This doesn’t allow for any time or energy to skill up into anything else and forces a positive feedback loop in keeping people in this bracket.
Edit: I’ve just read through some of your other comments and I want to say something about post scarcity. We can definitely approximate what will happen in the distant future by looking at current and past trends. Human nature is the constant.
We can look at how many unskilled jobs are created as a result of automation. From what I can see, the number of unskilled jobs created from automation is in the negative, meaning that less unskilled jobs are created from automation.
What systems are put in place for those without jobs? The trend is abandonment or exploitation. We’re currently in a glut of job seekers far exceeding jobs available both in skilled and unskilled areas.
But I digress… This was originally about an automated lawnmower being mildly interesting, which it is.
But there’s no UBI to allow the person without a job to skil upl into something else that a robot can’t do.
But all the lobbying has already happened - for decades - and nothing has changed. Fossil fuel companies have poured in billions over the course of decades, and still are, to counter lobby and spread misinformation to keep the status quo.
You’re only seeing the ‘performative’ protesting in the media and not the lobbying because it’s easy to report on, but in reality this movement is on its last legs. It is THAT level of desperation now.
Do you think they’d still be protesting if the government actually implemented the policies brought forward by climate scientists decades ago?
That’s right! They’re better off spending it on lobbying so they end up getting more money!
To The Moon; Once you go through the experience of the story, there’s really no need to replay again.
That’s where automation comes in to do the menial repetitive jobs and the remaining humans take on more complex tasks. Everything will work itself out.
A lot less than farming meat which requires all the cost of growing that and ensuring the animals are fed and watered until slaughtering.
Would you believe an idiot though?
