The post Keynesian dream

Government will look you dead in the eye and claim this is efficiency

you can literally hire 2 or 3 more people for elevator doors smh.

Unemployment so much better

Not enough window breakers to keep window fixers employed

why did he have to open the elevator door himself

this is an utopian world for those who rejects AI because of fear it will took over jobs.

What the people who say "AI shouldn't replace our jobs!" look like to me.

I think most of them are in slavery, it is not employment🤔 am i Right?

This is funny but it also points at something real. You can theortically achieve 100% employment if you give everyone menial jobs. Instead of using a shovel, use spoons. My interpretation is that productivity growth and quality jobs are at odds with employment targets

Ha, Keynesian entire argument was that it’s impossible to have 100% employment

This is basically ludditism pushed to its logical conclusion.

This corresponds to my experience visiting less developed nations. Someone sells you a funilar ticket, someone else opens a boom by hand, a 3rd person operates the funicular.

You forgot the gigachad image

keynesian economics was designed to encourage the growth of the state and the parasite class.

O que Milton Friedman disse para os Chineses fazerem:

@exilado Full thing here:

What’s the elevator job pay? I could use something with a sense of dignity.

checkmate keynsians, you need a marxist to pull the elevator fat guy back up.

This is more so the classical economists dream, as they assumed full employment was the equilibrium not Keynes

Id really hate to get fired bc the fat bastard who is my apartments elevator counterweight keeps showing up late.

bro did all dat just to become a human door mat

Interestingly, under capitalism, workers class struggles drive up the cost of labour which pushes the further development of the productive forces, such as automation - in the moment is disruptive but ultimately reducing socially necessary labour time

Los Comunistas de la época estaban en contra de la mejora continua porque prescindía del obrero

@mattwridley Keynesian economics is just communism/socialism repackaged in a much more academic way.

And yet they all get a salary, a home and probably make children who study for an hopefully better future. Without full occupation they would be beggars and die in their 30s. Also they use their salary to comsume goods, hence absorbing the production coming from industry.

this is what slaves used to be basically

Reminds me philippines. There was a guy opening a shopping mall door for people. Not trying to offend, obviously could be automatic dooe but perhaps calculation was hiring a guy to open door was cheaper than installing automated door.

Luddite bros I dont feel so good...

This is only absurd from a human perspective. Coherent, if they are mycelium. Even more coherent from the perspective of a radio wave: - every body becomes a transmitter, - every task becomes a signal, - every idle surface becomes part of the network.

@giacomozucco Incomplete - they need to break more windows to facilitate growth.

👌

ants be like

there are labor shortage in production but labor surplus in other jobs also if there were this much surplus, why do the kosh brothers lobby for mass immigration and h1b visa? what they want is cheap labor, not labor in itself

No job for me thanks
