What is the advantage of autonomous trains over regular? It seems to me that when driving a train is your job, the autonomy just takes it away.

If we didn't have capitalism, people wouldn't need jobs. We could automate jobs away and instead of starving, people would just have more free time

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

theres countless mountains of actual work to be done that couldn't be automated.

[-] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and we should focus all our time and effort on those problems instead of wasting time driving trains.

Some people enjoy driving trains.

[-] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, that should still be allowed. But people shouldn't have to drive trains to live

Ok, name a system better than capitalism then

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Reduced capitalism, increased socialism.

Some capitalism is okay. But unfettered capitalism is not. We have the latter.

Was society MORE capitalistic 50 years ago or LESS?

[-] Claidheamh@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

Which society?

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Why does 50 years ago matter?

It was definitely worse in virtually every way, nevertheless.
