The history of automation is one of *increasing* productivity and

thus increasing the relative wages of the people doing the work.

It is also a history of eliminating tedious, ugly drudge work

that no one really wants to do.



Does automation increase or decrease the number of employees for

the same level

of production?



Depends on the nature and extent of the automation. Generally

speaking it decreases the number of employees needed for the same

production since that is often a factor in why automation can be

cost effective.



Which would mean production would have to increase to employ the same

number of people. That means demand would have to increase. But

average wages in the US are dropping. So who will supply the demand?



Apparently the Democrats will simply pass a law mandating that demand

will go up.



How is that people who have no understanding of economics are allowed

to **** up the system.



So you want to whine about reality, but you have no solutions. Another

beautiful theory shot down by an ugly reality.



I have a solution. Whenever a Democrat makes a suggestion beat him with a

tire iron and do exactly the opposite.

I have a better solution. Better yourself silly with a tire iron in heavy traffic as part of your clown act. Remember, practice makes perfect.
