It's not news - even 40 years ago we - as high-school age kids - were warned not to plan on getting through life on manual labour jobs - even to the point that entering the trades was discouraged. (Hindsight shows us that construction trades would have been a good move, but manufacturing trades - machinists for example - maybe not so good).

Don't worry about the automation - find a job that automation won't replace - and there are a lot of them. Job prospects in the past couple of decades are far better than they were in the 1970s and 1980's.

As far as the lament about floor sweepers losing their jobs to automation... well - if that was your career plan - a floor sweeper - then you deserve what you get. That may seem a bit harsh - but a career floor sweeper? Is that really a step up from a career welfare bum?

The problem is we are not just going to be replacing hard manual labor .lots of jobs at risk. Bankers, receptionist ,factory workers, translation speakers plus many others.

They have lots of jobs on their site that shows where the losses and gains will be and where ai or robotics will have a place.

I do agree with what you are saying we were supposed to have flying cars by now too. But these times are a little different with the latest technology coming into play.

If the world switches to a digital currency is there a need for all the banks ? The usa just handed over another bank to jp Morgan Biden said it was a strategic option. JPMorgan is a strategic partners in the wef.

Justin Trudeau just said the 13 billion to volts wagon was a "strategic" option and no other companies were to get a deal guess what. They are another strategic partner in the wef as our finance minister sits on a board with these people.

The fednow program was an executive order
A digital currency will arise in the usa. Europe is also doing it . Can't take more than a thousand in cash or it's considered a Grey area and you could be penalized.

No mention on the mainstream about it. Canada is ready just waiting on the word from our government the program is already complete. The bank of Canada states this.

Are you concerned about jobs disappearing or the WEF taking over?

With millions of jobs to vanish that's going to create lots more issues in the times to come.

I'm guessing your going to toss out your computer and electronic devices. Did you know that without computers the Canadian Banks would need to employee more people then we have in the Canadian population.

You seem to be very afraid of technology. I guess since I work in it I embrace it.

I guess your be pretty ticked when you here several companies are trying to build a robot that will do roofing shingles.

Almost tossed my Samsung a few months ago I'm not afraid of the new technology just some of the people in charge of it.

When we are described as hackable animals from the top it makes ya wonder what they mean.

The guy who helped biuld this new technology with Google just left because he is afraid of bad actors using it. That should be a concern

My other concern is that we rushing it without testing it. We are willing to reshape our society without even testing it. 60 % of the new tech they want is still being worked on. We are slowing our economy because we are waiting better. But that better is not even on the market yet. And worse it's almost come predictable with who is doing what.

Wanna take a guess at who will be funded next as a strategic partner? Maybe they will be another strategic option from our government. I know witch bank will get a bank run if needed again they are a strategic partner planning the future

Unless you have special support , you end up on the street. Many on the street never finished high school, have learning disabilities, mental health issues etc ,so it's very hard to get a job. They would be thrilled to have a job that would pay more than $850.00 a month.

Many are actually lazy and rebellious and choose the life style they’re living. Most of there mental health is caused or encouraged by there rampant drug use. How do I know? Well one of my childhood friends now lives that way. If he wanted a home he could have it, but he doesn’t want to abide be the rules so he’s willing he in the mess he’s in. Yes there are some real cases of people unable to work, but that group is definitely not a majority. It used to be,(up here at least) that is you were on welfare and were physically able to work you would be put to work cutting brush in the ditches and filling potholes. Coincidentally there was less healthy people on welfare and government programs.

One of the new "AI"s that's in the news is chatgpt. Have you used it? Try it and ask it something you are familiar with. I think you'll find that anyone who loses their job to technology like this wasn't doing much in the first place. The other thing - chatgpt is NOT AI. It's a text formatter that extracts info from the web and puts it together in plain english paragraphs.

When the lack of available employees is one of the major drivers behind automation, it's a bit strange to be lamenting loss of jobs to automation.

The WEF - I do see that as a concern, particularly when voters elect governments who put the interests of groups like the WEF ahead of Canadians.

True in some cases.
I'm very sorry your friend has not been able to move on; drug addiction is a very complicated problem as you know.
In London, welfare recipients are seen every 2 weeks to see if they are pursuing work or need to be moved to ODSP.
