Automation already generates hundreds of billions of dollars each year across the globe. Unfortunately, this is only benefiting a small number of people, proportionately speaking.

People forget that it was the Soviet Union that put the first human into space after launching the first satallite. People forget that Communist China revolted out of a fuedal system to be a challenge in all ways to the Crapitalist Empire of the USSA in less than 100 years.

As crapirslists rush this way and that way wringing their hands while crying, "The jobs are dieing!" they should take a deep breath knowing that what is shifting is who controls the Means of Production. Anyone with a 3D Printer, solar panels and outdoor gardens with indoor LED grow lights will control their means of production. Hopefully any State still standing shall be a caring one offering to all according to their need (s) in the process of creating self sufficiency in their citizens.

The technology is here... the mindset is what is missing in those crapitalist programmed areas of the globe.

This is not political advice... this is history unfolding.
