eventually become so automatised and efficient, we will only need to work 10-15hrs a day.
Meanwhile, the number of hours actually worked these days has skyrocketed to an all time high, higher than during the worst days of the coal mining of the 1850s.
>we will only need to work 10-15hrs a day
wtf are you smoking honkaloid crackass
You realize that a farm that needed 50 peasants to be worked on, is now farmed by 1 farmer with machines?
You realize, clothing that once required 1000 people to make, is now at 0 people as the processes are automatized?
don't you mean 10-15 hours per week?
Capitalist will never allow people lives to improve.
>10-15hrs a day.
stillborn thread, sad
We would but we keep insisting on having made-up paper pushing jobs. And then we have jobs ment to get around the paper pushers.
Because they forgot to say that the profits genetrated by atomation will no go to the welfare state but instead to 1% of billionaires who will hoard the money while telling you that you will own nothing and you will be happy. Automated companies should be taxted 99%. Instead, these companies pay no taxes. The billionaires have the solution. Instead of redistributing the profits to the population, they ant to reduce the population dramatically. To reduce poverty, just kill the poor. problem solved.
10-15 hours a day is pretty accurate.
Obviously that is what he meant you autist.
fuck you leprecoon cumskin
a 10 to 15 hour work day will never happen. you understand that the people at the top enjoy making money right? if they're to continue making money, they need a society of workers and consumers, and how else could somebody consume if they didn't work?

Sure but you wanted a central bank and fiat currency system and now want robots but only in the hands of large central corporate entities instead of distributed and in the hands of individual directly like 3D printers are (for now).
Most people in developed countries these days work completely unnecessary "bullshit jobs" (look up the term). Secretaries, office managers, "consultants", "assistants", etc, etc. These people don't really produce anything meaningful but the society still demands they "work" full time to exercise control over them.
Society as a system doesn't exist for the benefit of individuals.
But user, even if something like 3D printers became popular, you would still find that those with the rare intelligence traits would be more successful. Because the society is more complex and advanced. So the trend of wealth inequality will keep progressing.
>you understand that the people at the top enjoy making money right?
and the people at the top would be struggling to do 15 hours per week as it is. That's what you're for.
That would be true in a real money system, you work and make real money, then invest savings and get paid for that, in system like this you would work like 5 years and then you could retire and live from investments. What we have today is a system so corrupt, they force people to use fiat currency that is counterfeited and the purchasing power is stolen, there is no safe way to invest and save money, only physical gold and silver left, since all paper assets are very risky to hold, this fake system holds on people stupidity alone, when the majority wakes up everything will implode. This could take couple years of very high inflation to wake people up, as we know this from the history of 1970's inflation.
The point completely went over your head. Yes, our processes have become more efficient, but DESPITE that efficiency people still work themselves tired. The amount of work to be done will fill the time available. That should be one of the most fundamental laws of economics, if those economists were worth their salt. Instead, it's satirists who say things like those that are usually right.
You silly nigger go invent the wheel then you can talk.
>What we have today is a system so corrupt
It is corrupt, but it is not corrupt in exactly the way you are describing. A market provides consumers with alternative choices. When you can produce a computer, for example, that is 100x as fast as one decades back, then you cannot expect to make 100x as much money. Obviously, your competition will also have computers that are roughly 100x as fast and it's that competition that more of the money will go to, if they have slightly more popular product.
>autimatized
>Meanwhile, the number of hours actually worked these days has skyrocketed to an all time high,
Do you think all the niggers and spics and muslims pull their own weight and pay their own bills?
Get back to work, goy, Akmed has another wife and two kids on the way from pakistan.
It is also interesting that posters from countries with inferior economies tend to repeat popular economic misconceptions more frequently. It really does suggest that less proficiency in economics is ultimately to blame for weak economies.
In my own country, Germany, I see a greater and greater share of young people repeat the same misconceptions, and our economy appears to be stalling to the degree that these popular myths become widespread. During my time in school, I remember us having almost exclusively read left-wing economic scholars. That is distressing, because I believe some of our most stellar economic successes, such as the "Wirtschaftswunder", where fundamentally the opposite of that wishful thinking of most left-wing economists.
