labor cost savings to the people instead of the owners.

This is the way.

Profit sharing should be a part of our laws.

Good thing our politicians that vote for us are all bought out by corporations who don't want shit like that to pass

Taxes are essentially profit sharing

parent

[–] ShadowRam@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

No.

Taxes pay for the infrastructure that companies rely on to operate.

Taxes don't reward the workers for their contribution to the companies bottom line.

You have a point, if a democratic workforce votes to increase profit instead of investing in workforce, they will not survive.

I am thinking it would work more like a non-profit, due to all the money made would be used in reinvesting in the company and paying workers.

Aren't some companies artificially kept up or is it manipulation of the market?

I think the capitalist system is already dead, you need markets for capitalist system.

Would love the AI society that artists and authors started to imagine (in an admittedly idyllic fashion) a world where technology and AI meant that people could invest more time in personal projects, socializing, and relaxation instead of working all the time. All it will really do under our current system is leave a bunch of people who’ve been replaced with no real way to stay afloat. We’re replacing the workers, but not their support system

Agree, making harder for working class to support ourselves

No support system in the works, so more crime and violence as a result.

Union density is highest in pseudo-socialist countries like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and in pseudo-communist/ex-communist countries like China, Russia, Kazakhstan...

It seems that the work was easy enough to be replaced. I wouldn't do a job that can be replaced by an AI in the long term.

What job do you do now?...

I am a car mechanic and can't imagine being replaced by a AI or machine any time soon.

Blue collar job are safe from this type of AI. If anything it will make diagnostics easier.
