I remember this day!

This was back when ESPN was good. SportsCenter was gold. You could leave it on the TV all morning and just watch the SportsCenter repeats as all the hosts were entertaining and informative. They reported stories and showed highlights. Didn’t try and force stories or force hot take debates.

This was the first major free agent signing in the NFL and I loved that was Reggie White.

I never missed a day of Sportscenter back then. Must see and entertaining.

Now....meh (haven't watched in YEARS)
 
This is weak...you dang well know what I meant. What are the millions upon millions of people still doing decent but not great paying jobs making, assembling and warehousing things going to do for money to buy the things the robots make when the great robopacalypse happens? That sounds like a disaster to me.
Didn't mean my response in any way, just a genuine answer. Sorry if it came of in a way. Only meant that automated 24/7 workers would/should mean lower prices...basically equivalent to slave labor.

I'm not a luddite economist type. Those people have been around ever since the industrial revolution, maybe earlier. The "such-and-such productivity gains = no jobs" panic crowd. Yet new industries always seem to emerge to support the new economic infrastructure. Imagine telling farmers in 1700 that only 1-2% of Americans would be farmers in the future. No way they could imagine such an existence being viable.

Now, to say exactly what it will look like...I have no idea and I'm not going to pretend to know what a much more automated workforce economy in 50 years will look like, just as those in 1970 had no idea how computerized everything would change things now by 2020. My guess would be work hours will decrease. Taxes on robotic workers will fund minimum basic income. Just random thoughts from me...who knows? Maybe it's worse, maybe a lot better. I only know that it's inevitable.

Fwiw, I do worry it could exacerbate economic inequalities, which I think is core to your concern as well.

On the VQ podcast, AP said that Wideman is not a factor at all on this team.

"Wideman is not a factor. He is so far down the depth chart right now it is not even funny. He can't even get into a practice."
