      I understand but... this has been bipartisan standard-operating-procedure for decades. Core issue: there is no politics—yet—to address this. https://twitter.com/AdamSerwer/status/804159598282375169 …

      I documented such cases in the nineties. Subsidies in return for jobs. Subsidies often cost more than jobs paid. But no other policy tool.

      One other policy tool: "job training." Decades of research shows that returns are meager to zero. Still, it looks good, so it goes on.

      Question is what are the politics on offer for more than half the country without college degrees—and those with, as AI eats up the chain?

      Reasonable path for some. The number of such jobs available are overstated; path not easy; often not open to women.https://twitter.com/PatinNH/status/804346095040155650 …

      zeynep tufekci added,

      if not now, when? @PatinNH
      Don't we have to retrain for available opportunities? Is there no one who wants to be a plumber, electrician, HVAC tech?? Many more choices https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/804331942632161280 …

      In one poor HS, black boys who wanted repair fridges were told to learn computers instead—classes taught them ""MS Office." They were right.

      It's a better path for most HS grads than "learn coding" which just isn't viable or real; but it's a narrow and increasingly narrowing path.

          People say "but automation.." My piece a year ago. Tech is being deployed purposefully. It is not a force of nature. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/opinion/sunday/the-machines-are-coming.html …pic.twitter.com/BpKVx3uJ3Z

          not exactly correct. It's a force of the financial market, and generally developed and deployed to capture $ gains for investors.
