The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Human labor is quickly becoming the equivalent of the horse in a world full of tractors.

value or go home:
Maybe so, but I'd venture to say horses today are better taken care of than they were when their use was utilitarian rather than recreational. In that way, maybe they're more valued. I for one, would like human labor to be more valued.


Good point. Once horses became nothing but our pets, useful for recreational activities and not much more, they had an easier life. Just as once humans become useless and are just kept up by the AIs that then run the world, our life will probably be a lot easier too.
