"When Megatron sends its Decepticons, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending robots that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs.They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good robots!"

so no matter who we elect, we're doomed either way since robots and technological innovation are going to create a class of permanently unemployed individuals?

It doesnt have to bee the same economic system. I support a cooperative run business with an universal basic income guarantee, at this point why not.

It'll take the bottom falling out - which given Trump's team is probably going to happen sooner rather than later - for people to pretty much disavow Capitalism in a way that will force changes.

Then again, god forbid we go without our brand new iPhone 7 8 now with even LESS bang for your buck so... it's gonna hurt baad.

Even if it hurts bad, it will open a window of opportunity.

"In her work, Zamagni shows that Emilia Romagna’s co-op economy is a product of organizing going back to at least the 1850s, developing in conjunction with a rich, high-value-added agricultural tradition and surviving despite a brutal historical encounter with fascism."

It is amazing how co-ops try to emerge and thrive during times of chaos and even fascism. Perhaps it is inevitable as the old system dies a new one must emerge to fully challenge capitalism with no compromises. Only time will tell if it will stop this crazy cycle.

Opportunity, yes. Doesn't help those who are dead or suffering along the way. :/

[evildevil]

Sadly, that is true. Which is why it has always bothered me why we cant find solutions without resorting to bloodshed. But so far history seems to prove this is inevitable.

slavery collapsed, feudalism collapse, and capitalism will collapse. this just means the old way of doing things has to come to an end.
