Without job opportunity people will go broke, poverty will increase, starvation will increase and so will violent crime. Sure, the jobs suck, they might be labor intensive and even underpaid. The core problem is without money people will live in tents on the streets or live in an RV if they are lucky enough to have one or be allowed to own one in a city. So what then? Is that really a better future for us or our children to live in? What is the point of even having children if they are destined to be poor and miserable, begging for handouts just to live?
Maybe the solution is simply going back to family farming and ranching. I'd be OK with that. However, the other problem. There is simply not enough land for every family to own dozens of acres. Land is expensive too, especially housing. Not everyone can afford it. Many people today don't have the skills, and if people today complain about hard labor, holy crap farming and ranching is very hard intensive labor. It requires constant commitment too. In or out. If you are in, you got to be fully committed, tough and rough it out year after year after year, no matter how bad the yields can be.
As for AI. AI isn't going to feed us. AI isn't going to take care of us. AI is just another market bubble that requires heavy constant investment, participation and consumerism. If the AI can't make profits the bubble will start to burst. Sam Altman might loose millions in value if that happens but average people gain nothing from it anyway. So the question remains, how do we help dig America out of the doom loop?
