Marxian catastrophe? - technolgy marginalizing middle class


Quote by russ_watters View Post
Historically, this has been a problem on an industry-specific level, but not a national level. So I think before asking/predicting if it is going to happen, one has to explore why it hasn't happened yet.
That's good reasoning.


There is a product called "Merit" which is remarkably good at killing white grubs found in the lawn.

Now banned from residential use in Ontario, only organic options are available. Specifically Nematodes.

29.99, cultivated in a petri dish, and only 60% effective according to the specified application rate.

imo, this is why. Industries "adjust", markets shift. Shifting to a more renewable based economy, such as service or bio-engineering, or what ever is sustainable is a good direction and I think more/less the current direction.

There aren't as many stone masons today, and there are many more structures.

And yea, that could leave a whole generation "jobless" as you mentioned (industry specific, auto industry ect). Doubt they'll starve or freeze to death though.

I wish I had a crystal ball for this, I would love to know what mon-fri 9-5 looks like in 500yrs, probably archaic.
