With Apple poised to drop a cool $100 million in US manufacturing in 2013, theories about just what a modern Apple factory could look like. AsMacworld reports, the early money appears to be on intelligent machines, and lots of them.
The march of technological innovation and invention will continue to create operational and manufacturing efficiencies that will destroy jobs and devalue labor workers. This is the future embodied in human-intelligent machines, superautomation, robotics, biobots, digital computerized operations, etc. The problem for society is that unless ordinary citizens, whether educated or not, transform from non- and under-capitalized job-dependent labor workers to productive capital owners entitled to the full dividend earnings of expanding and new businesses employing the non-human factor, they will suffer the downward slope of declining wages and will have to revert to taxpayer-supported (national debt/budget deficit expenditures) government welfare, open and disguised.
The solution is to enact the Capital Homestead Act. Support the Capital Homestead Act at http://www.cesj.org/homestead/index.htm and http://www.cesj.org/homestead/summary-cha.htm
