Good, let ‘em ruin themselves. We need the people in healthcare and education anyway. In the meantime, tax the companies to hell because they’ve lost all value now they’re not even “creating jobs” in your country.
Not all that great for the people who now can't get jobs.
Take me for example. I like to think I'm a pretty good software engineer. And I actually enjoy it. I'd be a pretty bad doctor and an even worse teacher (I'm also a man so that would limit me to teaching teenagers and older anyway, nobody wants men near children in education).
Don't give much of a fuck about the companies, but a lot of people are now denied a career path that might've been THE thing they're great at and enjoy doing. This is about several different fields, of which mine is one. I'm quite lucky I got in when I did. Otherwise I'd have to start considering suicide by now because I can't stand manual labour or customer service.
the teachers i see employed at my school when i was in HS early 2000s who are male, that have been washed out from other stem majors, or have been gatekept from those fields altogether, not a good fit it pretty much reflect thier lack of interest in teaching.
Except healthcare and education are also getting dismantled.
And the companies aren't being taxed.
There are a lot jobs that a computer simply cannot do, because they are not humans. Especially the ones that require human contact and interaction. Until we have a robot that can mimic a human those jobs are safe. The jobs that require you to make calculations or provide input into a computer are most at risk.
And I know the companies are being taxed, that’s why I said let’s tax them.
