Neo Slaves: Americas New Slaves (2018)

Neo Slaves

The Neo Slaves of America are of all races. We are a society divided by many issues, but the one that divides us the most is wealth. We have deep discussions about minimum wage, welfare, immigration, and the likes. These issues stem from one major issue that we neglect to do anything about. The income gap. We talk about welfare being a problem, but we don't drill down to the root cause. Why is there so much welfare? Can a family make it on minimum wage? What is the cost of living?

Without diving into the numbers, lets just say that its an absolute fact that a family of four can not make it on minimum wage alone. This is where welfare comes into play. If we had a minimum wage that was based on the equilibrium of the market, our welfare system wouldn't be such an issue. By pushing people into poverty with such low minimum wages, they become nothing more than the neo slaves of America. They don't have the money to appropriate in the economy, and they struggle to make it every single day. Most of the jobs available are servant type jobs. Cooking, cleaning, serving, waiting, can you see the pattern? Its slavery on a massive scale. Get up, go to work, go home broke, go to bed, and wake to start all over again. The extra money that's saved by business owners on labor only helps widen the divide.

The rich have excess money to use to make more money. This ensures they stay on top. The poor only sink deeper in debt. Leaving nothing to pass on to their children. The rich leave legacies. The rich go to college. While much of the poor are pushed into the work force to survive at young ages. The cycle continues.

Until America can elect the right people into office (Liberals). The majority of America will become the Neo Slaves of America. 

Robotics: The End of Work, Economics, and Capitalism

Robotics: The End of Work, Economics, and Capitalism

Many are fearful for their jobs with all the media today about automated automobiles, delivery robots, and self checkout lanes. In the short term this fear maybe justified, but long term we should all be extremely excited for our grand children, or great grand children. These children will live in a world that allows humans to enjoy life without the stress of providing for their families. Everything will be provided to them.

We must understand that this is an unstoppable future we are embarking on. The reason stems from global competition. China and India as well as other countries have been leading the world in cheap labor through unpopular labor practices. Cheaper labor equals cheaper products. The only thing cheaper is no labor. If American ignore this trend, they will be left behind. Frankly, Americans don't like to be last in anything. They and other countries like Japan will lead this movement to reduce manufacturing cost.

One other reason robotics will replace humans has to do with labor laws. Companies have to tread lightly with employees to prevent business ending lawsuits. To do so, companies will continue to moving away from labor. Labor laws don't apply to robots.

At some point robots will not only be doing all the work, but they will also create new robots and repair broken ones. Farming, manufacturing, you name it will be replaced. 

The first thing to happen will be a slow deduction in labor. Walmart just last week laid off a ton of employees. Lets think about this for a moment. Walmart has self check out lanes now, and they just ordered a huge fleet of electric trucks from Tesla that more than likely can be converted to autonomous fairly easily. This is the beginning. All physical labor will come to an end. 

Then the professional jobs will be hit. Doctors will soon have no jobs. Robots will draw blood, scan the body, diagnose, treat, and do surgeries without any human involvement. Most humans will be outfitted and implanted with nano bots that will catch every possible illness. Treatment will be done to humans as they live their lives. The entire planet will be video recorded. Laws will be enforced by robots that have access to all video footage. Punishment will be handed down without question. This will cause peace through fear. The only thing humans will have left to do is live, socialize, travel, love, and populate. 

War is the only possible end to this inevitable future.
