With the coming automation crunch, combined with the way our economy is set up, we&#8217;re going to reach a situation where only the owners of capital can actually profit, because they can invest their capital into automation and hope to realize a profit, while labor is useless and superfluous- the <em>best<\/em> case scenario is that they subsist on a handout in the form of universal basic income, but that&#8217;s not really a good solution- it doesn&#8217;t address the fact that the owners of capital may continue to accrue wealth while everyone else is sitting around and waiting for the leavings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We <em>have<\/em> to reach an understanding that the economy is a tool to achieve wealth for <em>all<\/em>, not just for an elite. While there is a good case to be made for differential rewards, <em>market solutions<\/em> do not solve any real problems.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shift.newco.co\/the-real-reason-this-elephant-chart-is-terrifying-421e34cc4aa6#.90c7q0c84\" class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-recommend=\"0\" data-card-width=\"100%\">https:\/\/shift.newco.co\/the-real-reason-this-elephant-chart-is-terrifying-421e34cc4aa6#.90c7q0c84<\/a><\/p>\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        This pretty much addresses why I think migrating away from a capitalist economy is something that we have to get&#8230;<br \/>\n       <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/2016\/08\/30\/this-pretty-much-addresses-why-i-think-migrating-away-from-a-capitalist-economy-is-something-that-we-have-to-get\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[93],"tags":[94],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23184"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23184\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
