Corbyn is proposing a maximum wage now. Footballers wages are ‘grotesque’ apparently.
His former economic advisor has described this as ‘totally idiotic’ but it’s just Corbyn being Corbyn.
Did he ever hear of taxation ??

Drop the E ! 
slightly off topic but whats your views on a universal living wage?
Ive heard people on the radio talking about this saying that as ICT improves exponentially loads of professions will be obsolete, not just production lines ones and if that happens this will need to be brought in.
Its an interesting idea
Something will have to be brought in to keep the plebs occupied, civil unrest is bad for capitalism. Less and less jobs will be available for people in years to come along with the population getting bigger.Another world war will be needed

Would you get a living wage for fighting in it?

Hopefully.
Temporary contract only I’d say,a good purge is needed if we want to keep our standard of living fairly high.
I saw a prediction recently by a well esteemed economist that our grandchildren will only be working 15 hours a week. Unfortunately the economist was Keynes and he made it in 1930.

Well if you add up the time everyone on here is on TFK I’d be surprised if anyone is coming close to 15 productive hours of work a week

True. But they’ve been predicting the replacement of humans with machines since the cotton gin and yet here we are
one example is taxi drivers, surely they will be gone in a decade, also the cost of getting taxis will reduce as drivers wont need to be paid
btw guys, Im just reading through this thread and I have to compliment you all on the quality of debate. Generally on a topic such as this where the right and the left are debating things can get bitter quite fast.
The fact that we are all here as Irish sports fans first and foremost and have grown to know each other means that people are more willing to listen to opposing views

You’d imagine we are well on the way to this alright mate, won’t that be bliss, not having to listen to them cunts moaning into your ear. Ultimately if you take it to it’s logical conclusion none of us will have cars at all.
What happens, you just order a driverless Uber to your house whenever you want to go somewhere?

Yup. There’ll be thousands on the road and you’ll just order the nearest one or arrange a pick up for a set time. How often do you really use a car? For most people they spend the vast majority of the day doing nothing. Self driving buses etc for cheaper commuting, cars will drive themselves back to charging points when not in use. Cars will also be able to be completely redesigned since you won’t need to face forward so they’ll have train style four or six seaters or whatever in the back. You’ll do all your shopping etc online and it’ll be delivered by drone or if nessecary a self driving truck with a robot delivery man. It’ll be a cashless society where google will know so much about you that they’ll preempt your movements and thoughts. @treatystones you were on the lash last night, would you like to order your usual takeaway? And then the takeaway will pay google for doing that and send your chicken balls in by drone from the takeaway hub in portlaoise or somewhere in which all food is prepared by robots. Only the most expensive restaurants will still be staffed with human chefs for the novelty experience of it. Olde Style restaurants they’ll be called and thought of as quaint by the younger generation who scoff at you while eating their Solent green. Houses will have no need for dryers, washing machines etc as these can all be done more efficiently off site by robots and returned to you. Pubs might survive as a meeting place but your pint will be pulled by diageotron 2000 who guarantees a perfect pour every time. No one will have any jobs at this stage because even the machines will eventually learn to create themselves and ultimately after a brief period of blissful existence we will lose all knowledge of how the robots were even created in the first place or any knowledge at all, as why would you bother going to college? Finally the robots will become self aware and much smarter than we could ever hope to be and ultimately they will rule over us all with an iron fist
