Much more will be automated, so it will be cheaper.
If you don't have any money, "cheaper" doesn't help.
How many millions had their jobs replaced by mechanised production lines, and then by robots?
As someone has already pointed out, the first industrial revolutions occurred during a labor shortage. Now that there is a labor surplus the end result will be more people with no jobs and no money.
It would be unrealistically unwieldy for me to rebutt all the contents of all those links. It wouldn't even make sense to read them
How could you rebut them if you don't read them?
Five different studies show a disparity in sentencing for the same crime. And "sentencing" is the part of the process that involves whether or not you get locked up and for how long. And the discussion started when you said this:
The concept that a person of some given behavior is more likely to be locked up if he/she is of some ethnic origin other than white European, say, a black person, in America is incorrect.
I show studies that indicate you're wrong, and you're response is, "It wouldn't even make sense to read them".
And apparently, you can reasonably accurately judge the book by it's title.
In fact, not judging a book by its title is just stupid. If you see a book titled, Python for Data Analysis, you can reasonably (and accurately) assume that it is not a mystery novel. And if you see a book titled, Missing Men of Saturn, you can judge reasonably (and accurately) that it's not going to teach you how to adjust a carburetor on a 1960's MGB-GT.
Anyone who has been to a library (I realize that might limit the test population somewhat) knows that yes, you judge a book by its title.
It tells us that you are way too hung up on shit that doesn't concern you.
This is why it's good to have some of the older guys still around Slashdot. Because they're more likely to drop a truth bomb when one's needed. Nethead (1563), I salute you.
basically someone that has voicechat on in an FPS is also another easy identifier of a toxic individual.
If not toxic, then certainly irritating. I have a policy that when I hear someone in the lobby of my games that's just leaves his headset mic on all the time, I just drop straight out. I really don't want to hear feedback and subvocal grunting and huffing. PRESS TO TALK.

That's just incorrect. There is plenty of evidence, shown in study after study, that shows there is a disparity in sentencing between white people and various ethnic and racial groups.
The US is not a free country. As much as I think it is good to try and restore our freedoms...
It was never a free country, not for everyone. The reason we're hearing all about "losing our freedoms" is that now it's finally happening to white people who have money.
When it was just the blacks, or the Indians or the Jews or the Japanese, or whomever, then it was "What a free country we are! And freedom isn't free, y'all."
But now that Biff Biffington has concerns about back doors in his crypto, it's "HOLY SHIT THIS AIN'T RIGHT!" Well, welcome to the party.

What the f*ck is that bullshit ? Who cares about "work/life balance" in a world where you know that as some point you always get downsized, and you have to scramble finding another job while your savings dwindle to zero. Another piece of "muh feelings!" bullcrap to catter to the "women in STEM" affirmative action hires demographic ?
I think I'm starting to understand why you're the one who always gets downsized.
In Wisconsin, for example, vacation days [ehow.com] are pretty much down to company largesse. They can set nearly any policy they want; use it by X or lose it, we're not going to pay it out if you leave, taking vacation has to be approved by two levels of management on forms submitted in triplicate, etc.
Wisconsin got what Wisconsin voted for, an anti-worker governor and legislature.
Stop calling them "benefits" and just call them what they are, which is compensation. Corporations (and politicians) have used the term "benefits" to be the equivalent of the corporations giving their employees welfare. They've actually used this term, "benefits" in PR campaigns to steal employees retirement packages.
If you get health insurance, sick days, retirement, it's because you earned them. They are yours. It's not company largesse.
The AG is pretty incoherent here. He's saying that it is illegal gambling, but he's also claiming that it is a problem because the top 1% of players win the lion's share of the money. Well, that'd be the case if there was a great deal of skill involved, rather than relying mostly on luck. Which was the entire point of the "it isn't gambling" position.
Part of the problem, and the reason this whole kerfuffle started, was that a significant percentage of the 1% of players who were winning worked for the fantasy gambling site and were getting inside information.
It was the equivalent of casino owners getting to shoot craps in their own joint using loaded dice. There's a long history of corruption and crime surrounding legalized gambling. These fantasy sports sites are only a few years old. If they're this corrupt already, it's probably better for them to be shut down.

And by "adapt", you mean "either learn to live with much higher poverty levels or come to terms with a much larger welfare state."
Because there really aren't any other choices. The world has reached peak jobs.
My iPhone's getting old, too.

I think you've made things clear.

Not by it's cover, by it's title. Which is not unreasonable.
That's funny. "SJW" is exactly the same kind of word, used to mean the same thing.

There are some multiplayer games that aren't plagued with jerkoffs. I'd tell you the names of those games, but then all the jerkoffs would show up.
But mostly, multiplayer gaming is just a big bag of turds.
That's just incorrect. There is plenty of evidence, shown in study after study, that shows there is a disparity in sentencing between white people and various ethnic and racial groups.

So maybe you want to start your reply again, armed with this new information?

And the paper is theirs to pull.
Everybody wins.

They'll learn.

That's right. Unfortunately, the last New York Attorney General who went after Wall Street got run out of office for having sex.

Here's exactly what he said:
"If I become president, we're all going to be saying Merry Christmas again, that I can tell you."
That is the entirety of the quote.
Translation: "It's not fair to quote Republican candidates, because it makes them look stupid."
And here is the entirety of Trump's quote regarding wages being "too high":
"Taxes too high, wages too high. We’re not going to be able to compete against the world."
When a candidate speaks in meaningless platitudes, you can't get upset when his meaningless platitudes are directly quoted.
Carly Fiorina just said we need "Uber, but for health care".
Thoughts?
I thought Rand Paul was a Republican. I guess you wouldn't know it by his polling numbers, though.
