Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where ‘machines can make all the food and stuff’ isn’t a bad idea::“A society where you only have to work three days a week, that’s probably OK,” Bill Gates said.

    It has never been a technology problem.

    If society was build correct in a democracy, advances in all fields would always be for benefitting the people and the majority.

    This has been a problem ever since the industrial revolution and what caused the great depression.

    If technology advances to a stage where we only need 75% of the current work force, the answer is not to fire 25%. It is for everyone to benefit and work 25% less or get 25% more pay. (or 12,5% work less and 12,5% more pay. Our choice)

    That is a working democracy.
