THE FUTURE AND JOBS
Posted : 31 Jan, 2026 07:27 AM

The future of manufacturing is automation.

For the U.S. markets to be competitive in manufacturing, the U.S. must go all out in a.i. and automation. In order to be profitable, that is what must happen. That is our future.

I worked for the U.S. Post Service in a major city.

You'd be amazed how many lazy worthless workers were there that little raised a finger to do their job. Then they accept over-time and do the same. Or wait, they go out on the balcony and sit for three hours and play cards and get paid for not doing their job. They disappear from the area they are supposed to work and get paid. Some would read newspapers and do crossword puzzle instead of doing their job. Some went on eternal cigarette breaks. Then some are injured away from work, then claim work comp and get on "light-duty" for injuries they did not even get from work when they do nothing at work, so how do they get injured? And those are the ones they hire. The world is going to automation. Who would want to hire such employees as the government often hires and companies end up with? No one would want to hire the quality of workers we have and pay the benefits they get and pay the bad workers and worthless workers the pay that they often get. Better to pay cheap labor in a foreign country where there isn't all the bureaucracy. Surely, the human workforce is going to be going into the unemployment line Big Time. People would rather have automation and a.i. than humans

I enjoyed learning that you used to be a postal employee! You are correct about the world becoming more and more automated. In my opinion this fact brings up a few important issues. (Normally I would be against the idea of universal basic income because in the past the idea was closely associated with communism...but in the not to distant future machines will do most of the work.)



Question #1 people need to ask themselves is 'How would I spend my time if money was not an object? For example, if machines were able to plant and pick food some farmers and gardeners would stop working so hard...I enjoy the challenge.



This leads to another important point, in the past good while society has entermingled the ideas of needing to work and therefore work is bad. But work is not a bad word its a scientific word that means a push or pull on an object.



I know people that have "retired" and they think that doing whatever they want will be fun, and it might be for a few months. But what retirement boils down to is being able to be a self starter.



But some people are convinced that work is bad so I guess the future of thoes people will be like the people in the movie Wall-e



-The people of Earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss, and are all so fat that they can barely move.-

That saying has a duel meaning:



To "go postal" on someone means to suddenly become very angry or violent, often in response to stress, particularly in a workplace setting. The phrase originated from a series of violent incidents involving postal workers in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s.



Of course you could be cheering for your former employer.

Feminism is doing it's part in destroying the reputation of the last couple generations of working men. That's why we have illegals coming here to do the jobs Americans won't do.

Feminism has convinced women that they can raise boys better than men and these women are raising boys who don't think they should do the hard work. Women and these sissified boys are literally ushering AI and robotic replacements. The stop gap is to flood the US with illegals who are willing to do the dirty jobs these sissified Americans won't.

Unfortunately they're also causing the downfall of the American way and it's become a race to see if we become a third world country before the robots take over. More than likely it will be a combination of both.

I thought it was to forever swing the votes away from a Republican Majority.

The OPEN BORDER POLICY of the Biden Administration and the Democrats and Deep State Operatives. More those pouring in our borders don't work. That get FREEBIE ENTICEMENTS for a BETTER LIFE. "FREE THIS" and "FREE THAT!" WHY WORK? A better life is offered for free. Many of those that entered our country are living better than the citizens. But I believe the whole thing was to forever swing our elections and to move to global socialism and ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT and "THE GREAT GLOBAL RESET". Those that flooded into our country will little work. Some indeed work. Others just live off the system. More are attracted to doing nothing and getting paid for doing nothing. It is a huge enticement!

Of course, that is why people flooded in. Get something marvelous for just coming. But with Trump in office now, that is not happening as it did under Biden. Still entitlements remain for illegals. Just not to the extent it was before under Democrat leadership. But people complain of the end to those "entitlements". The American people do not complain because they are the ones who have to pay for those entitlements.

U.S. socialism has gone overboard.

Originally it was more to replace lazy wimpy Americans but it has been taken over by the demoncrats so it's now a double duty thing with corporations selling out to the liberals to get even more workers while demoncrats get the ability to gain more control of the house so they can more readily block anything repubs try to pass so they have certainly become one in their mission.

Either way the end result is men who don't want to work and expect government to take care of them from cradle to grave and that mentality comes from single mothers and is reinforced by mostly female teachers and female administrators who are all card carrying members of the feminist club.

Bring on AI and the robots.
