Topic	Why does Andrew Yang "have no chance"?
joe40001 11/29/19 7:11:16 PM #57:	Broseph_Stalin posted... joe40001 posted... Do you have any specific examples? If automation killed jobs we'd obviously see higher unemployment and productivity. Instead we have full employment and flat productivity. Yang was once questioned on this by an economist and had no answer. This leaves him with only predictions about the future and how many jobs it will kill, someday. But those "studies" are all based on asking engineers what task could possibly be automated. And why automation in the service sector is somehow different from the automation we saw in agriculture and industry, they can't say. Most of Yang's support seems to come from NEETS or those Reddit types who are dumber than the average person but think of themselves as exceptionally smart. They don't seem to understand the relationship between labor and automation. Ignoring your strawmen at the end, "once questioned by an economist" which one? What questions, because there have been several that endorse him. Elon Musk and lots of other people in the tech world second what Yang says about automation going to take away jobs, are they just "low IQ" NEETS as well? You are mostly arguing in very vague terms which obviously are hard to argue against, but that doesn't make them good points. I could say "some economist said your mom's face was dumb looking, and she had no answer, so it's true" but without saying who said it, what they said, etc. that's really not an argument. If you have concrete points I'd love to see them, but making strawmen and being vague isn't productive. There's tons of evidence that automation is a real risk to jobs, it takes 2 seconds of googling and you find a million well researched examples: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/25/these-workers-face-the-highest-risk-of-losing-their-jobs-to-automation.html So you are entitled to your political opinions, but IMO if they are mostly based around vagueness and name calling then you might not be any smarter than the "dumb reddit NEETs" you look down on. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 <cite>joe40001 posted [p:930883235] in Why does A...
