    The people working may have 3 day weeks, but they’ll get paid for 3 day weeks, and 50% of the population will have 0 day weeks because they’ll be unemployed.

    He’s basically saying that we won’t have a need for most full-time positions in the future. Just someone to replace the ink/toner, lubricate a few moving parts, update some software, replace some worn parts, etc.

      Which I’ll give him, sounds awesome, just not with a bunch of rich cunts at the helm. It would be great if working was a choice, something you did because you find joy in doing it, like art, or masturbation. That will never happen as long as there’s an owning class who stand to gain as much as a penny from exploitation of the people.
