@joshb6026 Not yet but it's likely more investments in robotics, A.I. and automation is going to happen after the dust settles and at some point, it's going to be able to do pretty much every job we can do but faster and cheaper and if I was a business, what incentive would I have in giving people a job when I don't have too?

@nimrodbong8173 The actual dynamics of the economy will have to change, think about it, over the next 50 to 100 years, we are likely going to have more clean energy than we know what to do with, in other words, free energy, throw in robotics that can do almost all the labour, that leaves us to natural resources but two things can solve that one, a lot more recycling and space mining. Throw all that together and for the most part, a big factor of the cost in making stuff has become free that money might matter far less but it's not as clear cut as that because we only have so much land so some kind of system will have to be in place on that. My point is, it's unlikely the capitalist system will survive the onslaught of the robotic, A.I. and automation revolution that is on it's way because business won't employ humans if they don't have too so either we all become jobless and businesses can't survive without consumers buying their goods or the system is going to have to change in to a far more social system than we have now with a lot more benefits, likely a universal basic alliance. The actual focus of the human race could change from money being everything to betterment of the human race, so learning could be our real jobs in that future as there is always stuff to learn, many youngsters are likely to see this future in their lifetime, the alternative future is something like Blade Runner and I doubt any of us wants that.
