    increased productivity is usually a good thing for the economy (or we'd all still be throwing spears). you're not a believer in capitalism then? the remaining checkout clerk now has increased disposable income. 3 workers a few months later are employed elsewhere in a growing, more productive economy. billvon continues to fret about chinese and mexican (other) workers... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    Weird guy. Looks like he's a former progressive who is conflicted with "multiculturalism" and other ideas embraced by Marxism and has realigned with the nationalist, fascist wing of socialism. i thought you said he was a fascist - not a socialist? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    are you argueing that the self service checkouts etc... shouldn't be installed? are you a secret luddite? in this (extreme example given to me) what happens to the 3 workers now available to boost the economy? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    no, i advocated economic efficiency. you seem to want a load of workers doing pointless jobs for you (which is one reason why the rich are trying to dumb down the education system). once again you have called a worker on minimum wage 'privileged' - odd... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    no, my solution to poverty is increasing basic pay to the poorest workers

    why not just pass a law that sets interest rates at 1000% - in your world that would help the rich wouldn't it? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    so productivity increased fourfold for a small increase in wages... (billvon will be here soon telling us that it is in fact the chinese labourer that has benefited - but i can't see how) That means three other cashiers aren't being employed. Same reason why companies try to automate when labor expense get too high. You don't have a firm grasp on the economic concepts or the basic math. This was truly a facepalm moment. that i understand how capitalism works? stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

Same reason why companies try to automate when labor expense get too high. You don't have a firm grasp on the economic concepts or the basic math. so workers should be kept in dead end jobs that could be automated? i've pointed out that raising the minimum wage will increase productivity (which is how an economy grows). you deal with that fact... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    but you're importing mexican (and other south american) labour at the moment? meanwhile oil gets more expensive so goods from china get more expensive. meanwhile wages in china are going up so the wage difference is getting smaller. in a globalised system helping china (or mexico) is also helping oneself... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    you're still importing labour from mexico. chinese wages are going up. not every job can be exported. at the worst you see more money going to the chinese working class (all in all, on a global scale a good thing) at the best i see more money going to the us working class. once again not a bad result... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding

    in a 'capitalist market economy' the rich will build up their financial position until there isn't enough money for the general populace to live on (forcing them to borrow) and the system crashes. basic stuff... stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding
