As I said in this and all these threads we are going to be faced with massive unemployment anyway at some point. Post recession unemployment levels have dropped but at the same time many of the new jobs are crappy jobs that are the ones looking to be roboticized. Globalization has pushed the "good blue collar" jobs out a while ago
I'm curious the average gfy politics poster these days because it always seems like they grew up in the generation where you could work at the factory and afford two cars a house and a family. Oh and could work your way to the top it just took some hard work!
