So Flexo and the current state of affairs has brought up a topic again.
What do we do with unskilled labor. With automation taking over a lot of unskilled labor jobs such as floor buffer dude at the Wal-Mart, cashiers at stores with self checkouts, bag boys(god I'm old), newspaper delivery (both as kids and adults), etc.... What do we do with these people, or what do they do. Perhaps this is a reason socialism is rearing it's ugly head?
They always need ditch diggers they used to say when someone wasn't qualified to do much more back in the day. So with automated trash trucks where does that person go? If they haven't started yet I'm sure they find another path(or just become a leach on society) but what happens to those who have no desire or skill to do something else? My bet is they become a leach on society most of the time, they cannot go up without training and experience, lets face it nobody hires a 45 year old trash guy for Network administrator when he's cut from his job.
I've worked with hard working people that their current job was the best they could ever hope for skill wise(mental capacity also) and I've worked with geniuses that kept menial jobs as they were lazy.
So at this point they become disenfranchised but expect to be equal to everyone else that have better jobs or are more skilled i suppose. So I raise the question again is this why socialism is beimg sought by those who think it's their answer.
Futuristic shows such as Star Trek shows a society with everyone basically in a socialist society, they don't talk about the guy cleaning the floors but bet his ass was assigned the shitter cleaning job instead of running the photon torpedo controls.

What's your thoughts on this area and please keep it civil.
