Comment: I am hearing this “too much regulation” argument being used in Europe for at least two decades. It is being pushed by the extreme right representing the interests of corporations at the expense of the people. It’s called a “predatory capitalism”. They no longer recognize that they owe us a return for using our resources, our workforce, our markets, and our infrastructure. They no longer pay fair income taxes, which causes us to suffer from budget cuts in education, health care and social services. They no longer care about providing jobs. Governments cooperate by creating temporary foreign workforce programs. Listen to Musk and hear this: “By the end of -2030, humans will become redundant.” Well, maybe more like 2050 but AI and automatization (robots) will take on our role and we will become an economic burden for the new system.

I once argued that AI will reduce the jobs of the teachers since learning will occur online. Somebody replied, “No, schools and teachers will still be needed to take care of kids, while parents are working.” I disagreed – parents will not be working when all jobs are gone and replaced by robots and AI. Parents will own nothing, they will be happy to stay home and they will take care of their kids. With one correction: Some will say, “What? We have to take care of our kids?” This will finally result in less sex, fewer children born, more LGBT relationships, and accelerating depopulation statistics. See how this works? Like a Swiss clock.

You know what will happen next, some of the depopulation is already happening to clean up the excess of workforce (the useless eaters) that emerged in the aftermath of the offshoring of western real economies to “cheap” countries. By now, products manufactured in these cheap countries are no longer cheap. In fact, they are way more expensive than they were when we were making them locally. In Europe (and increasingly in America), we already see the end of consumer protection, the end of social services, and the end of democracy in general. We see privatization and exploding monopolization. Musk’s and his corporate elks’ dream. They advertise miracle apps that allow you to get rich while you sleep. Nonsense! You cannot keep taking out of the system indefinitely without putting anything in. It’s not sustainable. It drives the inflation and collapses the economy. Maybe, this is the goal.

Tell them to go away and flush the toilet after they leave.
