Why should my hard earned money go to those less fortunate?
RE: Why should my hard earned money go to those less fortunate?
that is being funded by taxpayers


this is just grotesque
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I don't see automation seeping into the fashion and beauty industry. A big reason is that robots don't have the ability to listen to what a client wants or may need. My career is all about 1- making a client look good, 2- making a client feel good, 3- being an active listener, 4- having excellent communication skills, 5- building up a repoire with your client and I'm in one of the few industries where I am allowed to touch people.

I think automation will have an impact in many other lines of work, but fields in which human contact and interaction is essential, you're not going to see it. Those are the fields that people just may be fighting over in the future, especially if most other lines of work are taken over by robots. I could be wrong, as I can't see the future, but since the conversation has turned in that direction and the OP has failed to address or acknowledge my post earlier, I thought I'd give my 0.02 cents worth the whole robot thing.

I mean that's just one family I knew as an example but I know other people who can easily live off government assistance.
Well, you can't in the US, hence our enormous problem with homelessness (hello, San Francisco) and food insecurity (1 in 7 children don't have enough to eat, and do not have a steady food source).

They've the same problems in the UK. Between 3 and 5 million people in the country depend on food banks to survive. There's a huge homeless crisis when large stretches of London lie empty.

You think? They're automating stuff like banks and shops and callcentres at the moment. Anywhere a machine is, in the long run, more efficient to buy than a waged human the machine will win out. Once they mass produce machines that can do the fiddly stuff hairdressers and other cosmetology professionals will become, at best, a niche luxury for the rich.

The only kind of jobs that currently are safe are those that need imaginative thought, and once we solve the Turing problems even those will be at risk.

Once machines match or exceed us in abstract reasoning and lateral thinking, our time on this planet as the dominant species will be quite done altogether. It was only those qualities that allowed us to rise to the top of the food chain, after all.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm just after realising that Loading Pleaee Wait answered his own question in the thread title. He admits with the words "less fortunate" that luck plays a good share in where he is now, ane that a lot of people would be in the same place if they had the same fortune.
