There has never been a worse time to breed. We've got more people than ever before, and more and more jobs are going to be made redundant by machines that can do them far better than any human could and without pay. There are already not enough jobs to go around and jobs are going to become more and more scarce. So what exactly are all the precious sproggen going to do to survive when they can't get jobs? I mean, I already know the answer to that: they'll breed like rabbits and go on the dole, either because they're stupid or it might wind up being the only way to get by since nobody gives a shit about unchilded people.
Seems like the jobs that'll be first on the chopping block are all entry-level type things that require no experience: technicians, clerks, telemarketers, cashiers, etc. I suppose there will be some new jobs in demand for people to repair these machines when they inevitably break, but how many repairmen do you really need? Also, why does that list not put things in order from most likely to be replaced with machines to least likely? I know robots can be of tremendous use in medical situations, but I don't think they'll ever fully replace doctors.
But parents don't give enough of a shit to think what will become of their kids in 50 years. All they know is they want their own way right now, meaning they want baybees to coo over so they can pretend like they've done something meaningful with their lives. Why should they have to worry about their kids' adult futures? They'll be dead when all this shit happens. I'm sure there will be some bleeding heart employers out there who want to preserve traditional hard work and will refuse to use machines to replace human employees, but that means their products will cost much more and no one will buy their shit as a result.
I think most people are going to have no choice but to be on welfare. There just plain won't be enough jobs for everyone. This means more money taken from the paychecks of people whose jobs still exist, which means even highly-paid people may still be dirt poor.
