Do you think the government should step in if all the jobs were taken over by robots/machines?

How far should freedom stretch? If companies began laying off millions of workers to be replaced by machines, leaving millions and millions unemployed, what do you think should be done? These companies would have a right to run their business as they choose. right? Do you think government should be able to step in in a situation like that if it would cause umemployment rates to skyrocket and people to have no income? Or would it simply not matter because eventually those business wouldn't have a viable consumer base?

This would be a fundamental change in the economic paradigm. Some involvement from the Government may be necessary at that time to make the adjustment, but we should not apply the modern paradigm of economics to understand that situation in which many goods and services are supplied with little to no cost.

If computers took over manufacturing jobs, I think humans ought to focus on the service industry, creating new industries, and other jobs not just stay home and wallow in self-pity about the loss of an industry available to them.

Also, I wouldn't be against replacing government workers with robots. I think they'd be nicer sometimes and probably a lot more helpful.

Well why shouldn't robots do jobs that Americans won't do? After all Robots should have the same rights as ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Freedom stretches as long as the country is stable, people are more open to researching. correction here; Government stepping into the companies psychology and system of employment as solving unemployment as solution are paradoxically hierarchy to freedom to communication. Then no space or beautiful piece in between. Purposely, a dessert meant to serve to a delightful family will cut and mince with many others who are new to the family. One bit of share serve may deteriorate the rest served. There are many who do not have this powerful machine making the dessert yet. Robots steals the show. Nevertheless, companies have freedom of choice for these many human generations that brand them. It may be a predator in one company on the other company and the choice maybe the best that people rest their pay pockets. Open information also tenses the conservative information shared to various parties. Fair share to live in a society.
