Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Robots Leaving Workers Jobless
Amidst a growing level of unemployment, thousands of workers have been fired and then replaced by automatic systems. They have petitioned you to intervene.
I’ve encountered with 4 choices
1. “It’s just sickening! Do you know how long it took most of us to get a decent, ‘stable’ job?” shouts Orson Chew, president of the NATIONSNAME Labour Alliance, before dramatically sweeping your personal belongings off your desk. “And now we’re losing our livelihoods to robots so that while our families starve, the corporations get even richer! Don’t let the capitalist pigs blind you! This practice must be banned!”
2. “Hey, I’ve got a job to keep up too, you know,” says Hayley Cockburn, a factory manager. “If I don’t think of new ways of keeping costs down, the investors will go elsewhere. It’s my neck on the line as much as anyone else’s, even if I do have much more money. Besides, it’s business, and no-one ought to be able to say who – or what – I can hire.”
3. “This could be resolved if instead of replacing workers with machines, we added machines to workers!” enthuses Chastity Ward, CEO of Mondas Ltd. “By replacing the body parts with stronger, better, metal prostheses, we can make the best industrial workers – literally – in the world! Imagine a shelver who can shift whole crates with just one arm! One finger! So let’s hear no more of this deplorable ‘replacing workers with machines’ idea and look to the future!”
4. “You can’t allow that!” gasps Peter Sato, a manual labourer. “If that happens, only the people with cyber limbs will get jobs! And the corporations will contract you into having the surgery if you want to have one! No thank you! We should go back to the grass roots of industry when all the machines weren’t computerised and workers were the salt of the earth! Then maybe we’d see a bit more appreciation! And cash!”
