Soon we will Automate and there will be a glut of jobless.
McDonalds are already experimenting with customers ordering via screen, there are burger & pizza making machines etc.
Amazon's first drone delivery was yesterday.
Unskilled repetitive jobs in large companies are soon to be extinct but someone still has to pay for the jobless's children to go to school (and we should somehow because we need to move up the pole).Leave a comment:

And for many, Islamic beliefs hold back women's participation in the workforce.
A usual it's a question of education, the ones I meet are professional and tend to work in the medical/dental sector.Leave a comment:

But most of people's personal wealth is tied up in their houses.
If Jewish people live in Hampstead and Muslims live in Haringey, it's not very surprising
Plus the Jewish pop is substantially older, Muslims have more kids, that'll skew the figures.Last edited by sasguru; 15 December 2016, 11:09.Leave a comment:
