Ending back breaking work will shift the whole spectrum of work and make college less and less necessary to earn a living

I've worked in ag, ranching, machine shops, manufacturing, auto repair, waste management and construction and in every one of those trades, men who never even finished high school are running high-tech equipment, driving high-tech heavy equipment etc. Thanks to technology, more and more women are in these jobs as well and earning both, equal pay and respect.

Farmers sued John Deere Tractor Corp. and just won their lawsuit giving them the right to fix their own tractors including the high-tech, electronic components.

A reduction in the number of hours everyone needs to spend at a job is certain. What will people do with extra time is the biggest question?

Jobs in the civic sector will increase substantially and that can't happen soon enough.

American cities are an ugly, filthy, hideous tangled up mess of abandoned buildings, empty lots, cement housing, empty malls, storefronts and strip malls, surrounded by endless swaths of pot-holed blacktop and weed filled lots wrapped in chain link. Cities are so hideous, people are retreating into housing developments and high rise buildings with armed guards at the gates and front doors.

An old friend of mine has lived his entire life in a home for the developmentally disabled. After working a paying job for 40 years, Marv retired and still found work to do. Believe you me, that man earned every penny he was paid, and his social security benefits too.

The only thing different for Marv, were parents who could afford to assure him a safe, supportive home where he could build a life and stay a lifetime. Marv's parents died about ten years before he did, but their wise example lives on.
