History for Ryan

I don't know if the UBI is the answer, but we have to do something. They've been running small scale trials in California and they've found that that safety net increases productivity and encourages people to take risks and be more entrepreneurial, and I'm not talking about the hustling entrepreneurship forced on people because of subsistence living that you see in developing countries.

What if there are simply not the jobs to make things happen? What if you spend all your time struggling and settling for something and so you can't put your energies to being productive? Forcing people to go out and get things done because of desperation is not something to aspire to, and is not something which brings up the wages or creates productivity for the country. People who are desperate often do desperate things, in South America they have much worse problems with drugs than we have, they also have problems with people indulging in risky behavior like street prostitution and even the exploitation of minors. Human trafficking is a problem, slavery is a problem...There's also a link between a lack of nutrition brought on by poverty in childhood and problems with intellegence as an adult.

If we look at the self driving car example that we talked about above then you can see just the scale of disruption. I read somewhere that the transportation sector represented 10% of employment in the US and 8% of the GDP. You'll find that disruptive change will be very quick. The minute one logistics firm automates driving all others will have to follow suit or go out of business, a self driving truck can work 24/7 and has no wage costs. But if you look further at what that means, it means that car ownership will drop because I can just order a self driving car to come pick me up when needed, so the big car companies will have to scale down production drastically. Electric vehicles don't need gas stations, if you go to Europe you see that charging stations are just installed on the curbs along the road sp a vehicle will charge itself when parked. Mechanics and body shops will be required less because there will be less vehicles on the road and because they're self driving there will be less accidents, and electric vehicles are fundamentally simpler than ICE vehicles so are easier to repair and should be more reliable.

So, you see one technology, like self driving cars, destroys vehicle manufacturing and all the services around vehicle maintenance and support, and you have a couple of million layoffs in the logistics industry having a flow on effect of having several million layoffs throughout the economy as a whole.
