paul, it does not make sense to post statistics without the background of those.
first of all you have to know HOW consumer prices are defined.
the price index you shoed here is basicly influenced by the oil price (what have NOTHING to do with wages, jobs or whatever - it just have to do with the world market and speculations on oil).

Those indexes don't change, they use the same products to gauge costs of living regardless. So your reply is bullshit. A lot of the price rises is due to this.

in the same sentence you accept, that this works will be done more and more by robots in the future (what will happen for sure) but you do not see the advantage in that and you do not even think about a solution how a world can survive when human workers are not needet anymore. from WHOM shall they get the money?
|
From the 10% who live at the top of the ladder. Think back to pre-WW1 days to see how it works. Do you think the owners of the large mansion houses worried about their workers not being able to buy enough?
A good example is a Chinese factory worker isn't buying the same amount of goods a US factory worker does. This never stops the bosses moving their factory and relying on the Chines to made goods to be sold in the US. And don't forget the money is now in China so sales in China rise, buying Chines produced goods. If they bought the equivalent value of US goods, there wouldn't be a trade gap.

imagine HOW FUNNY would that be if you are part of a company what is made to replace you in your job with renting robots to your ex-boss
it will not be THE robot making your job it would be YOUR ROBOT !!!!

Economics isn't about imagining what if. For me, as a boss, it would be my robot. For the worker who I sack, it would be his life on unemployment. Don't have to imagine that as it's happening.
