I never understood why "unemployment" was seen as "bad".
In my eyes, 100% unemployment is the goal. Do you enjoy being forced to work just so you can eat?
Wow. So, who exactly will feed you? Robots? And who creates the robots that will feed you? And who will program the robots to plant the food and feed the cows? Let me guess, more robots. So, you want a world where no humans work and everything is done by robots? Or, do you prefer the good old days where you tended your own land and grew your own vegetables and hunted your own meat? Isn't that work? I just have to assume you are one of the scum that wants me to work and pay taxes so you can get food stamps to eat food that I paid for. So this is how O got re-elected.
I didn't want to be an anonymous coward so I logged in to repost the above.
If you remove the figures of death by homicide and accidents, the U.S is number 1 in life expectancy. Also, if you look at life expectancy after medical intervention (for things like cancer, heart disease) the U.S. is also number 1. Remember, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
