Bad Future

[erenahmed]

Jobs: whts going to happen in the future theres not going to be much jobs is there.
They will mostly be taken by imagrants. They can't send every imagrant back to there
normal country can they.

Cars: How much space will there going to be in the future for driven cars.
They can't destroy old cars to replace them with new cars or even make space
for other moving vehicles. Whats going to happen to car sellers, they will get bankrupt
because no one would want to buy them after having such fucked up traffic.
They would have to have people using bikes or skates on the sidewalks like
wht they did in most of France Because of to much traffic.

Jobs; Oh please, immigrants always historically have taken the crappy sweat shop and crop picking jobs, no different today, the average American is actually able to get a good job, I mean its not like a PhD is going to go to a laboratory and find out he was turned down for a illegal immigrant

Cars: Old ones get scrapped, new ones get bought to replace, give the old car to children when they get older and can drive, get a new one for self, if you rich buy 4 cars etc.

i think you both might be rightish on this one. while immigrants (illegal or not) don't pose much of a threat to higher-salary jobs i don't think its out of the question that many of those jobs would be lost to foreigners through outsourcing. same qualifications, lower salary.

I'll throw my hat in here that there simply aren't enough jobs to be performed to keep our society running anymore. The productivity of a single person is now much higher in ratio to the number of people, so we're fast approaching the point where a small percentage of humans are needed to provide all the comforts of daily life to the masses. Work as a whole needs major reform as that shift occurs. We need to move to a society where work is only part time, where you can work between 3-9 months out of the year, switching out with others who have the same job at different times of the year, and get paid year round. Money is no longer the same thing it once was, guys. At this point, we're going to be wasting products more than we're using them if it keeps up... We should instead give them away.

jobs: coming from a liberal I do see how immagrantion can make lower end jobs worse, however I don't place the happyness of someone in my country over that of an immgrant , so It dosne't really bother me.

cars: we do need to find a more efficent way to travel however these are the best we got for now

For smaller local businesses that have needs to fill, I could see that working. For large established multinational corporations, I see the board of directors giving itself a bigger raise, buying and shoving out the smaller businesses, and still cutting employee benefits due to "lack of money." The inherent problem with lowering taxes is that humans are greedy bastards, and if we don't have to spend the money in a practical manner, we won't.

Don't get me wrong; I hate taxes just like anyone else. But the effects of lowering certain taxes need to be reliable if it's the action being taken to recover a troubled economy. How is lower taxes on corporations any different from a government bailout?

I don't know why wouldn't there be.

Ima chargin mah lazorz!
Anyway, no. As it has been noted here, immigrants take mostly unqualified labor (I'm special! :D).
The problem I could see in the US is becoming Spain: an abundance of highly qualified people that pushes their salaries down to unqualified labor levels. It's already happening with liberal art majors.
People will start realizing that having a BA is not that important, and will switch to technical jobs.

Sure they can, you don't see many 1950s car on the road do you? Unless you're of course, living in Cuba.

You'll go European and stop buying SUVs and start getting Smarts.

Yeah, that too. However, there will be only a switch in demand, not a net reduction of it; instead of buying big automobiles, people will get small cars and bikes, so big automobiles will go bankrupt, but small car and bike manufacturers will flourish!
