It already is. Look I am an automation engineer.

A generation ago I would have my own draftsman, a secretary, and three techs. The draftsman is gone, because you can train an engineer how to CAD. The secretary is gone because of email, and the techs are gone because you can order the parts now. I am the one engineer in my department who has a tech report to him and we will see how long that lasts. Basically doing the work that 5 people used to do. Did I get paid their salary?

But it gets worse. We have new software at work. Used to be there were two engineers plus a consultant part time doing my sub branch. Because of the new software when they retired they weren’t replaced. I am now doing the work that used to take 2.5 engineers to do. What about their associated secs and drafts people and techs? All me now. I should be pulling a million a year and if you look at what I am making my employer that number adds up.

Oh and on top of all this business has expanded. So now little all me, software enhanced, is doing the work that it took about 20 people to do. Don’t believe me? 5 years ago my company produced a baseline model twice a week. In 2022 we produced one on average every 6 working hours.

Where did all the money go? Because I sure as hell aren’t seeing it in my pay. Meanwhile I am replacing workers for a living. Making better and better processes that can do more with less human effort. Again, where is the cost savings going?

Go to any chemical plant these days. With the exception of places that are always about to explode (power plants) or ones with new chemical process constantly (some of the newer biotechs) plant operators are gone. The only ones left are maintenance, engineering, management, and business operations. If you have ever drinken a glass of OJ on the eastern seaboard of the US chances are overwhelming that I was in the plant that made it and can assure you the operators are gone.

Sorry for the rant but it’s starting to piss me off. I like my job. I am destroying horrible dehumanizing jobs. The fucking beancounters are soring me on my work.

Jesus this hurt how right you are. Like any random person you know would be better suited for the job. In fact I am going to nominate my buddy Dave the accountant. He would be a great colony leader.

What I was taught was try to take their conclusion and see how hard it is to maintain it. For example if someone were to argue with me about the truth of their particular branch of Christianity I should do is show how many assumptions I need to make to get to it. I.e. there is a god, this God is personal, this God favors human life, this God choose one particular tribe, this God waited all that time to send his son down…

If it is the Mirror I don’t click it or believe it. Stop spreading propaganda.

Even if I were a robot I would hs r somehow done more travel compared to another person I could name here.

I am beginning to have doubts that I trust a company he runs to colonize Mars.

Doubt.

I’m just an atheist

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit right now. You are an atheist right?

I’d like sources though…

For which point?

I wonder if he got the idea at church mass.

I have worked outside in Houston during August. This is complete madness.

Would you describe the process as messing with Texas?

He remoted in and deleted stuff. Saved you a click.

Same.

We got a lot of people thinking of the horror of a child seeing a boob. I spend zero percent of my day worrying about this.

I wonder what business services are code for. Tax evasion?

The real unemployment rate is much higher https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-labor-force-participation-rate.htm

Take 3 adults. Before 2008 2 of them had a job and the other didn’t. Since that time it has fallen even lower. Most of the loss being from prime age and the young dropping out of the workforce, but hey if we keep blaming it on retirement maybe we can ignore the problem long enough that we don’t have to fix it.

Our government makes life hell on earth, our economists tell us that it can’t be any other way.

Doubt.

What was his religion? Cause if he was Muslim I bet we would know.

If it were up to me Ukraine would be given a freaken aircraft carrier or whatever else they want.

No. Your link it’s wrong and people need to stop posting lies. I have seen the same misinformation link dozens of times. What does it say btw that instead of you just knowing the two languages of the Bible and verifying it yourself you instead have to expert shop?

The commandment to kill a homosexual says to kill both involved. You don’t punish a victim the way you punish a criminal. But don’t take my word for it you can read your Bible where it specifically says to not punish a rape victim.

The only thing funny about the translation is in the first reference to it in Leviticus (Leviticus tells you to kill gay people twice and yet your misinformation link implies it happens once) the tense on the first male is plural form. Which while odd doesn’t mean the rule and associatied punishment doesn’t exist.

I am sorry your idea of sky-daddy is a homophobe. Maybe stop worshipping a being that doesn’t exist?
