kkleiner writes "For the last 30 years, automation has enabled U.S. manufacturing output to increase and lift profits without having to add any traditional jobs. Now, in the last decade, nearly a third of manufacturing jobs are gone. As manufacturing goes the way of agriculture, the job market must shift into new types of work lest mass technological unemployment and civil unrest overtake these beneficial gains."

Socialism.

And when those who provide, create and actually work refuse to give those who are lazy and do nothing the fruits of their efforts what then?

There's a word for those who work solely for the benefit of others with little to no practical choice but to do so. Slaves.
