Or just get your kids vaccinated? Their kids will get diseases and natural selection will handle the rest

How exactly is that a strawman argument? You act like technology does nothing for us. I agree that fighting for higher wages and other protections also makes things better. I don't understand why any of this makes the luddites right. Tech literally does work for us. You say tech makes people appear richer but it really only hurts us. What about medicine? What about the learning we can do through the Internet? What about the million other things that we can do that our ancestors couldn't?

Yeah bring back telephone operators too while we're at it! No one should ever lose a job! Jobs are a person's whole life and they should get to do it even if something else could do it better!

Stopping tech from taking jobs just doesn't make any sense. If we did have the perfect economic system, having that tech would lower the overall amount of work that needs to be done. That is a good thing. We should fight for fair labor practices, but fighting to keep labor itself around is the wrong idea. Why keep useless jobs around? Just to keep people employed?

I could use a good site like this

Why would people want this? How else do you find videos to watch?

 

Sorry if this isn't the right place to leave feedback, but I've noticed this a lot. Comments will be indented too many times, sometimes the parent comment won't load, but all of the child comments will, sometimes the 'view more' button will appear above the comments that it does show, sometimes I'll even see a button called 'show parent comment' which seems like it should never happen. I've seen more weird things, but that's what I can remember. I also tried adding a picture to this post, but it gave me an error about a bad character and failed to add.

This is also happening for me.
