. what is a Mac job? This is my misspelled version of the entry-level service job in the USA usually in food service: i.e. McDonalds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McJob From: John Berry .Ok, I'm missing something here, how does having robotic factories give people jobs? John obviously the two are counter-effects (no pun intended vis-à-vis the McJob :-) and any satisfactory National solution must become a fundamental part of the political process that is, if we intend to have full employment as a national priority. My effort to tie robotics and human employment into a package along with restricted international trade would be to demand ownership rules which allowed both to happen at the same time. Do we want full employment or not? That is a main question for the years to come, and it clearly divides conservatives from progressives. The attempt to tie human ownership directly to human replacement robotics introduces a structural inefficiency into the system, but it would work (probably) yet admittedly has zero chance of actually happening, despite what I perceive as a logical basis Ayn Rand types and Teabaggers would much prefer to see increasing legions of displaced workers on the street rather than to limit the capitalists prerogative in any way.
