Because government has been the worst polluter in the world

Instead of taking 20% of my income and giving it to people who are doing wasteful fictional work, wouldn't it have been much more efficient to just take my 20% and give it to those people directly? I mean, if it's unproductive work, anyway...
These jobs are useless only from the market perspective, however strongly benefit the whole humanity! I think almost nobody will be happy to live without environment improving projects, parks, fundamental science, space exploration, healthcare, education! An idle mind is the devil's playground." - Lisa Marie Presley
+1M. All unconditional income's supporters must understand this fact and stop supporting this stupid idea! There is no other way to save humanity's dignity and civilization than to provide everyone with some employment. And its obvious that full employment feasible only in the planned economy model. |

Why do we want fictional and unproductive jobs? We all have to pay for them. Wouldn't we rather spend that same money to pay for real productive jobs?
I have an assumption that without creation of the fictional jobs (also many service sector jobs are useless or redundant) technological unemployment could emerge many decades ago, probably Great Depression of 1930's could never end! |

Also, when somebody says that Bitcoin can go up to $100,000 per Bitcoin (as Max Kaiser did), this means that there will be perhaps $200 million fresh money daily needed to prop up the price. So, we can safely say that Bitcoin will never be that expensive.
Only until reward per block will halve!  |

the solution is to outlaw corporations owning automated systems, but allow citizens to own up 10 automated systems, and charge corporations rent to use them. the government could help the citizens get a few systems to start with, but it would be up to the citizens to market them to the corporations
or use them themselves.
A corporatist elite now in power in the most countries will hurt corporations' interests...hmm...looks very realistic!  |

If he would have been a bit smarter, he have acted the same as Edward Snowden.
I don't think he would have been granted asylum for his jstor docs. I almost sure Ecuador and Venezuela would grant the asylum for him. |

Why would anyone reveal how many coins they hold?
May be some guy knows a sexy woman who works in a tax agency and want to meet her right in his home! |

Stupid government. New Bitcoin financial services alone could probably add a few 100k jobs, but most of them can't even start because it takes too long and costs too much to get licensed
I like Bitcoin very much, but think realistically - if the FED banksters will stop printing USD and make BTC legal tender, millions of fictional and unproductive jobs (NSA & FBI staff, soldiers, police, prison guards, office clerks etc) will fade away and real unemployment will hit >50% just after few months, not years or decades as probably will happen in case with robots. |

US BLS issued rigged unemployment report again stating jobless rate have fallen from 7% to 6.7% in December, however labor participation rate hit lowest value since 1978 (62.8%)!  |

How many clicks usually per day? This ad platform (Operation Fabulous) don't show number of clicks, only views per day are available. You can put shortened URL as target for a day and measure it. |

If you were to operate a poker site I would forever rule out traveling to the US and preferably choose to live somewhere with lax extradition laws.
I would say avoid all U.S. allies (Canada, Australia, UK, New Zealand etc). |

the 3D printing revolution is coming and we will buy downloaded designs and print in our homes
People won't pay for these designs! This time resistance from pirates will be real, not as it was with movies and music - MAFIAA can be met with 3D printed guns! |

As long as there is Market demand, they will be created in a Capitalist system. Robots will be making robots and people will have the funds to purchase. However, don't think a communist system will develop these, risk will not be viewed worthy of cost by the people/group making the decisions. BTW, Capitalism is not dying.
Demand will fall due to rising unemployment because people won't have money to purchase if they don't have a job. Its how capitalism works! I am not asserting that post-capitalist economies (socialism, communism, syndicalism, wealth redistribution through guaranteed minimum income etc) will be everywhere. Probably scenario is collapse of the large countries to small parts and each will have own economic model. Nevertheless, it means the end to the globalization and worldwide dominance of the corporations. This is just like the imaginary paradox of illegal immigrants Everyone think that they are taking your jobs When in reality if we all gave our kids $100 to hire some Mexicans one summer "Citizen" would one day be synonymous with "Employer" Immigrants, contrary to robots, buy goods and services and provide demand (employment for local population). |

But how will they spend money on R&D and on new robots, if they can't make the money on them due to unemployed people not being able to pay for their products? I.e. if unemployment reaches a certain level, and economy drops to a certain level, business won't be able to earn enough to continue to automate with robots (high initial investment, long term savings), and will be forced to hire people to do those simple jobs (low initial investment, higher long-term cost).
At the time when technological unemployment will have large impact on the demand, most R&D will be already done. Then production costs for these robots will be orders of magnitude lower than paying even minimum wages. |

You guys are still just looking at unemployment in US and Europe, and forgetting that billions of new jobs were created in India, China, Russia, and South East Asia in just the last decade, with probably over a billion of those being middle class jobs, which almost didn't even exist in those countries before 2000's. All these were private sector jobs, not government.
Chinese boom was caused by industrial production offshoring from the US and EU, which is coming to the end now. Some corporations (Apple, GE, Caterpillar) already started bringing back manufacturing because wages in China have risen enough to make production here uncompetitive comparing to the local manufacturing on highly-automated plants (which also let to save on transportation costs). Developing countries (China, South East Asia, partly India) will suffer at most because they won't have neither menial jobs, nor skilled population to make a transition. |
