IMO, The French have reached the "gig system" that we will, if we don't lower SocSec to age 40yrs.

[CK_John]

Either we do it on a national unified basic income or employment will be handled by 50 states, Wash DC and the colonies.

[jberryhill]

1. Where are the colonies?

[CK_John]

2. PR, Guam.

[jberryhill]

3. We sent colonists to them?

Do you understand the definition of a colony?

I don’t see much of a colonization effort in either place.

[Codeine]

15. So all this stock I just bought in the

American East India Corporation isn’t real?! #secondworldproblems

[jberryhill]

18. I was hoping for a space colony

...because those toddler-sized spacesuits are awesome.

[Codeine]

19. Automated terraforming machines

will force us to lower the age of Social Security to six months.

[jberryhill]

20. This will be the dominant issue of the 2020 election

[Spider Jerusalem]

4. The word you want is "territories"

(and it also includes American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands).

[CK_John]

8. Thanks, I am not sure if they are part of the SocSec system.

[Recursion]

21. DC and PR statehood activists use "colony" deliberately

I'm not sure if that was what the OP meant though

[ret5hd]

5. I'm glad everyone picked up on the most important part of this discussion:

colonies vs territories.

Anything else here isn't really worth talking about.

[MrGrieves]

6. Right?

At least one person was decent in pointing out the mistake.

[jberryhill]

16. To be fair, he left out the part about self-driving cars

[Crazyleftie]

7. What exactly is this poster

trying to say....I am totally confused.

[melm00se]

9. THANK YOU

I thought that I was the only one confused.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. He's saying....

....we will all be murdered by self-driving cars in the next 10 years.


I think.

[CK_John]

11. Automation will not generate enough jobs is my point.

[Codeine]

17. It's already happened.

we’re just a subroutine being played out in the processor of decommissioned self-driving Chrysler 300.

[Renew Deal]

24. That's the point

[MineralMan]

12. I'm afraid there must be something missing in your post.

That something would be information. Are you reading something where you are? Is there a link, so we could read it, too? Or is this something you're seeing on the TV where you are?

In other words, what are you talking about?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. In our sleep, Mineral! In our sleep!

The cars will kill us in our sleep!

[MineralMan]

14. Thank goodness. That way we won't even know it.

Now I understand.

[WillowTree]

23. They don't realize that once they kill us all off.......

.......there will be no one to unlock the garages and let them out. Joke's on them then.
