This is only going to get worse and worse with the rise of automation. I think we are going to have to figure out a new system because pure capitalism isn't going to cut it. Technologies like the google self driving car are going to displace so many jobs that I am actually worrying about what people will do.<p>Think about it. The self driving car will make taxis, truck drivers, delivery vehicles, tractor drivers, garbage collectors, and traffic police ALL lose jobs.<p>Some grocery stores already have automated check out. Soon they will have automated shelve stocking too.<p>I think this is a good thing but I'm worried society will react to it in the wrong way. Such as rejecting technology in favor of using outdated work.
