And for those in there future whose labor will have little practical application potential, life could very easily become intolerable without a national agreement on what will possibly be our biggest concern, aside from the hype of all the fun stuff technology brings.

the national agreement will still be the middle class paying on behalf of the rich for the poor. It will not be the Google rich paying for it. The Republicans represent industrial wealth, whereas the Democrats represent post-industrial wealth. It is in both parties interest to keep the poor poor, and keep the immigrants coming.

It is only through self-perpetuating poverty and broken families that politicians can get votes based on selfish interests, necessity, or anger. It is only through a divided society that both parties can harvest from it and take what enriches them.

I sense that sometime in the last 30 years, the Democratic Party changed. You can correct me on this. The Democratic Party began to see poverty not as a problem to solve, but a source of political popularity. They realized that they have lots to gain and little to lose if they do the following:
1. Open the gates of immigration (poor colored people vote Democratic, poor whites are useless)
2. Encourage multiculturalism (thus, producing the anticipated social divisions.
3. Complicit in sending jobs overseas and cultivating poverty at home.
4. Tolerate a culture of single motherhood and broken families.

All these reduce labor cost, increase life stress, pit one group against another. It is their divisions that will sustain the "left." All the social justice rhetoric is disingenuous and fake.

Those machines have to be designed by a someone or group.
The materials to make the machines have to be mined and processed.
The factories to make those machines have to be designed, materials sourced, built and staffed.
The logistical connection between all of the above have to be in place and staffed.
So there are many more jobs created for that machine than the persons they replace.

The machine the OP typed this post to replaced a stenographer - time to fine the jobkiller.
