      People saying with a straight face that job retraining is the solution to the impending job automation crisis yet we are kicking and screaming just to get white women treated fairly in tech.

      If your solution to the eradication of 4 million jobs, disproportionately affecting minorities, is to tell them to learn how to maintain and design automated systems, perhaps you should consider how minorities are doing in the tech industry like right now.

      I wish I had answers because automation's not stopping and UBI's not coming.

      The automation crisis, btw, started 40 years ago and we're about to see a new inflection point.pic.twitter.com/S5nxzKSVUi

      Is this is all automation driven? Piketty suggests there are larger macro trends at play *as well*, at least, whether or not they dominate

      Replying to @kevinriggle

      Of course it's not all automation driven but it would be nonsensical to think that somehow in 1975 humanity rapidly discovered a way to be increasingly more productive, something unseen in the past 5000 years of labor as a concept.

          This is where I wish I had a physical copy and hadn't misplaced my reader. Piketty suggests that the period from 1945-75 actually had abnormal growth relative to the last 500 years.

          I don't know if that applies here or not, but I hunch that it might.

          Piketty is pretty clear that we should prefer to live in the 45-75 conditions, tbc. Low-growth is not good for anyone but the landlords.

          But it's not clear from my reading of the first third or so of his book that automation is solely or predominantly to blame for the shift.

          People will tell themselves whatever they need to believe to uphold their justification for their own wages. Meanwhile, I lived in Appalachia and saw it with my own eyes.

          Was that mostly in mining or other industries as well?

          *nods* On the one hand, a lot of those (like mining) are shitty occupations (mining is of course so bad that we use it to determine the $$ value of a human life). OTOH, ppl underestimate the costs of retraining ppl to be... call center workers? programmers?... or relocation
