It has been complete bullshit for the 35 years it has ruled over us. But from now on, it's not only bullshit, it has no relevance whatever. Warren and Classic Xer, you guys are going to eat your words and then have to wash your slogans out of your mouth! There IS no fucking "WORK" anymore! Machines are taking over.
When agriculture was taken over by machines, somehow people still remained employed. When ditch digging was taken over by machines, somehow the economy came up with the jobs.
The same will happen this time around.
Quote:So the question is, what supports the economy, then? Who buys all the stuff and services that the machines churn out for us? And most of all, why should a few CEOs and a few engineers get ALL the fucking money for what the MACHINES produce? Who invented and built these machines? The workers, the people did. The people should get the rewards for this work-saving revolution.
Actually, the engineers built the machines, facilitated by the CEOs, and investors paid for the machines.
