Are Robots here to stay? no more jobs?

0.000 HBDAre Robots here to stay? no more jobs?
I am probably not the first and most of us will follow. # unemployed  Now I can still be able to get another job but this will become harder and harder... Will we all still have jobs in 10 years, 20 years?? Recently I came across the first self driving truck *(no, not by Tesla)* by Volvo and they even have a self driving garbage truck for example - http://www.volvogroup.com/en-en/news/2017/nov/news-2735311.html - http://www.volvogroup.com/en-en/news/2017/may/news-2561936.html This is just one example of the robots taking over. Just looking at the Tesla Factories or an Amazon delivery sites are other ones. Or what about the shop without cashiers in Seatle by [Amazon Go](https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=16008589011)? Driverless Ubers? Autonomous taxi drones? I got laid off because there is an easier/cheaper solution possible with autonomous trading/pricing algorithms. Slowly tech companies are autonomising their production facilities. Computers and AI are taking over processes. There will always be some people working but I would assume not enough to give us all something to do... How do we fix this?? ## back to nature? - In my opinion not valid since there are already to many humans to be able to live without technological assistance I think we can tax the tech companies more and use that to pay everyone some basic means of living or just generate it on a Blockchain. # Universal Basic Income... This is an idea supported by Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson and Bernie Sanders *(do not know if our @berniesanders does)* They are all proponents of a universal basic income model  they are already running test cases in Finland and are proposing one in California. - https://www.theguardian.com/inequality/2018/jan/12/money-for-nothing-is-finlands-universal-basic-income-trial-too-good-to-be-true - https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/12/california-democratic-party-platform-supports-universal-basic-income.html # But should we let the government decide on how much everyone gets? Would it not be smarter to get a DAC (decentralized Autonomous Coorporation) set up since we are making everything autonomous and there might be room for something like an eosDAC that @lukestokes is helping with or maybe we could think of even supporting an idea like [mannabase]( https://www.mannabase.com/?ref=0261d9840e) which is a blockchain that gives you a small amount of coins every day as a basic universal income... The thing is that I would say that the people that get involved into crypto and the new decentralized world will be the ones better off in the future and the ones that are skeptic and stay on the sidelines or fight every change will be stuck with only the basics. We should be considering ourselves lucky that we are part of the early adopters in this space.  # So, do you think you will have a job in 20 years? Are you ready for the future? ###### all pictures royalty free from [pixabay.com](www.pixabay.com)
