The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

[latin jazz]

You have made valid points, but I'm guessing you also speak the native languages, have cultural ties, maybe family....in those places. With a Harvard degree you can pick any job you want as well and pay for a San Sebastien condo. What did you study at Harvard btw?

Those variables definitely help but many people move without any ties or ability to speak the local language. That's been my case (and others I know)

Thanks for asking. I studied urban planning. Sometimes I regret it. It cost me a kidney (kidding) and getting a decent job wasn't easy afterwards. And this year has been bollocks (British slang). I wish I had done an MBA haha. I'm not rich by any mean, very far from it. Financially didn't make sense but I wanted the intellectual challenge of going there.

Remember this thread when you're paying $10 for a gallon of milk. Housing prices have already been hit, very few buying a house today have a hope of ever paying it off. Oh what's that? You want to raise minimum wage to $20 an hour? Let me introduce you to Mr. Robot. He doesn't call in sick, need health insurance, or to go on vacation. Companies will hire cheaper working China and Indian firms to do the programming. There might be a few American jobs for cleaning and polishing these guys so they look nice and pretty.

Please tell me where housing is getting cheaper. It sure as hell isn't here, it really anywhere else we've been looking. Housing is actually on the rise in most of the country.

People here are arguing over $600 dollar unemployment benefits while Steve Munchin shovels millions to his Wall Street buddies.
No wonder why we can’t have nice things.

Great! But we only need 1 of you for every 10 robots. You'll probably make a decent living. Your real life friends will be asking to borrow money a lot from you though.

Guess I'll mostly be friends with the other people who also work with automated systems.

I don't think you really understand how many skilled people it takes to implement automated systems, to improve them, to maintain them, to repair them and to keep them running at high operational efficiency.

Yes, one person can essentially cover several, if not dozens (really depends, there are so many variables) of pieces of equipment. That person works with reliability engineers, continuous improvement teams, project teams, and works for a supervisor and their boss.

Yeah, I can cover several processing lines where I work. Each of those lines has a few operators. Those operators have their own supervisors. Then there is a quality assurance team who makes sure the production meets standards, etc. They have supervisors.

The amount produced per employee will increase dramatically, but there will be jobs. Those jobs are going to pay well and require skilled labor.

Yep and that was fine for 3 months. For the countries long term health though you can't pay people obscene money to stay home, become obese, lose their skills, and expect to compete in the global economy.

The point of the expanded unemployment pay is to KEEP PEOPLE HOME. Plus, of course, the tons of people who have lost their jobs. Can you imagine how much worse the economy would be right now if people DIDN'T have that?

What is it, Bezos's net worth has increased $73B since the beginning of the year?

Is this an argument for UBI? Why are you against expanded unemployment benefits again?

I know where 680 of them could get jobs.

If your argument is its designed to keep people home, then it shouldn't have been crudely tacked on to the unemployment system. Under that system you do have to go back to work if a job opens up, or lose the benefits. If you quit your job because you don't feel safe from the virus, you're not eligible for the benefits. If the virus is so serious, you should have the option to quit right? The forces at play here are sending two different messages. Overall, if we're in this for the long haul, we need a better system.
