that will lead up to 70% out of work. The transformation from labor to robots will start to destabilize every system for at least 30-50 yrs.
I think people are already starting to panic and voting will be more irrrational than usual.
Does it matter who is in the office?

(108,994 posts)Regardless of the economy, the next few appointments will be critical.
But it is possible that the Supremes could be asked to rule on questions that could affect the economy. We don't know.

2016 will not be Clinton vs Bush, because the world be quite different and
those names generate a been there done that attitude.
The cyber era will produce new players. My pick is Sen Gillibrand (D-NY) vs former senator/male model of Massachusetts, Scott Brown.
Too bad we have to wait 31/2 yr to find out.

I suspect that your latest prediction will prove equally on target.

(2,016 posts)I read detailed analyses on AI and jobs: the risk is on 10 to 20% of jobs, and certainly not at the rate you're indicating.
However the 2008 crisis has been soothed for a decade with barrels of fiat money: there is a significative risk the underlying crisis ballooned under the bandages.
If there is indeed a jobs crisis in the West + a continuation of worldwide Islamic terror, we enter a 1930's situation..

(46,757 posts)they just need to find a way to make sure that the distribution of jobs is objective and gets to everyone without hitches. If they just give money to the State and Local governments to dispense, it will just turn into a crony distribution, reinforcing networks that undermine a fair process.
