That's what trump SAID she said, but she said no such thing. The green new deal you describe is not the one being proposed. Trump thinks "net zero emissions" means "zero emissions", which to him means no airplanes. "net zero emissions" actually means working on ways to reclaim excess carbon, for example, through technology or what have you. If you want to figure out what her deal actually is, rather than the strawman created by fox news/donald trump, research it yourself. Al-jazeera and associated press are excellent non-biased sources of information.That was quite funny, Jobs was always a good speaker. As for Cortez, she's anything but a left-wing Donald Trump - she's a bartender with the IQ of a kumquat. Whenever she, like, tries to say something, I, like, can't help but get, like, an aneurism. It baffles me that, like, she got elected. Like, what is even going on? Is this reality? Did I mention that she says "like" a lot? This woman unironically wrote that she wants to level and rebuild every single building in America, get rid of air travel completely and build railroads across the ocean, and it doesn't matter how much it will cost, all what matters are "the future benefits we will reap". What's even funnier is that people actually took the time to calculate the cost of her Green New Deal, going into multiple trillion dollar estimates, in an effort to argue against a proposal that's automatically ridiculous and untenable just on the face of it. It's like trying to argue that we shouldn't send a manned expedition into the Sun - yeah, no kidding, we know. I sincerely hope that the media give her all the attention, I really do want her to be the new young face of the Democratic party, it makes the alternatives look much more appealing.
The problem is you can’t force a business however you want it to run, just like I can’t force you to buy things you don’t want to. Business buy labor. Forcing a business to essentially buy someone they don’t want to keep is bad, it’s holding a gun to their head if you get government involved.
The market is changing, technology exits that can replace workers. You can’t just raise wages without paying attention to the current state of the market and it’s consequences of high wages.
Are you going to complain the Ford and the assembly line is evil because it replaced human workers with machines that are more faster and efficient. The assembly line is why anything is mass produced nowadays and why our standard of living is so high.
Indeed, we are approaching the singularity and automation will replace many skilled and blue-collard jobs at...some point. the best approach to save our way of life is to implementing the UBI, because that'll preserve the positives of capitalism, mitigate some of the bad of capitalism, and allow for automation to take over. Glad you're seeing the writing on the wall as well . Though I would like to add that at current wages, many people have to hold down 3 jobs to make ends meet. If they got paid properly, they could be fired from 2 of their jobs and be far happier because of it. It'll probably be important to look less at how many firings there are and count people who don't have any job.
