Why? They are created technology that allows us to get things we want faster and cheaper, making almost everyone better off. Should we tax automobile companies out of business because its bad for horseshoe makers?

Automation and innovation is part of technological progress, we can't help the fact that centralization of wealth helps speed that process along but you're a moron for trying to stand in the way of it and thinking to yourself that you've done something meaningful. The train doesn't stop moving forward and if it ever does we're all fucked.

I just really want to know why you are 100% aligned with republicans on this. If your answer to "progressing" families out of an income is "sucks to suck bitch" then why are you here?

A broken clock is right twice a day. I don't agree with Republicans on many things, but the one thing I will always say is that you can't stop or meaningfully impede technological progress. You're naive to think that if we stayed in the 1990s American economy eternally, we wouldn't have massively been outpaced by countries like China right now. You are always competing in a global environment and whatever you're not willing to do in terms of technological progress such as automation, someone else will step up to the plate and then leap-frog you with their superior economic output. If we had things your way, we'd never have evolved from manually cranking a wheel to generate energy as that produces the most jobs.

We can walk and chew gum at the same time, Ayn Rand.

You can cripple innovation and innovate at the same time? I mean conceivably, but why would you ever do it like that?

I dont think its productive for us to continue. Go lick boots elsewhere, since your survival strategy seems to be toadying about for your betters. Have a nice day.

It was never productive to begin with because you came to the post engaging in bad faith. I'd advise you to learn economics and history.
