Raw LLM Responses

@Vnexpress1203 But that's just it, its not a 21st century problem. This problem has occurred over and over many many times in history. It occurred in the 19th century when companies would hire children as cheap labor and created unemployment amongst adults. It occurred again in the 20th century when cheap overseas workers replaced U.S factory workers. Just substitute, slaves, children, overseas workers, for automation, and its the exact same problem. If you substitute cheap labor for the current labor force, unless a new industry is developed unemployment (or underemployment) is created. Giving people a small amount of money (or grain) just to survive doesn't change that they are still unemployed, still unable to support themselves. A truck driver is basically a low skilled worker who could earn a middle class wage (just like a factory worker used to). What is happening is low skilled workers are either being replaced with cheaper foreign workers or by automation. With the low skilled middle class jobs dissappearing those same low skilled workers who used to drive trucks or work in factories now work in Walmart or Starbucks for much lower wages. If you see the complete 'AI' episode on PBS. There was a chart where they showed up until the 1990's when productivity increased wages would also increase with it. But not anymore productivity is still increasing but wages are decreasing. A Truck driver in the 1980's made the equivalent of 110k in today's money, today they average about 40-50K. This type of wage decrease is un-sustainable. Its becoming much more difficult for a low skilled worker to make a middle class wage. Giving them 1,000 per month (which by itself doesn't even bring you 1/3 of the way to the poverty line) will not solve this problem.
