You still have the option of starting a business and effectively creating
your own job. Many have done so, myself included. "Find a need and fill
it," as Henry Kaiser used to say.

There are no guarantees in life, in particular no guarantee that someone
else is going to create a job for you.

	BTW I make that 5 million jobs - but still a lot less than 17
million.

	Now what was that figure for the percentage of start up small
businesses that fail in the first year ? ISTR it being quite high, and then
of course is the problem of startup capital.

	That is true, there are no guarantees.

About half of them were 'no better than the job the undermployed already
had' ... if I'm making $7 frying chips at Bob's Burgers, that is
substantially similar to making $7 frying chips at Tio Ticos Tacos.

The report was addressing a specific problem with some of the leading
joblessness indicators -- there are classes of people who count as
'employed', even though they are functionally unemployed.

I genuinely believe -- we are rapidly approaching the point where the
number of "jobs that can be filled by people" will be a minuscule
fraction of the population (on every single level: subnational,
national and supranational).  

For the last hundred years, the vast majority of people "go do some kind
of work, get money, trade money for goods and services".  How do we
solve that equation when there is no work to be had?

One way to look at the "prepper" movement is as a group who believe the
solution is to fall back to an agrarian (but heavily armed) society.  A
cure that is even bleaker than the disease, in my eyes.

CGP Grey has a great video on the topic on youtube "Humans Need Not
Apply", which I recommend highly - it's only about 15 minutes.

People like Mr. Blake seem to have this irrational belief that if you're
not smart or strong or lucky enough to be in a position to create your
own wealth that its your own problem, and none of his concern.  My
response to that is:  Hungry dogs bite.

	Funny thing is this was once seen as a desirable goal, freeing man
from the burden of labour or somesuch with the idea that people might work
a few hours a week and live in luxury provided by automated production. In
optimistic periods I like to think that we may be in transition towards
that state and just suffering the chaos of transition. I can't sustain that
optimism for long though.

At some point somebody is going to have to figure out an economic system 
that doesn't require that everybody work a job to survive but that is 
actually viable and sustainable and doesn't suffer from the "idle hands 
find the Devil's work" syndrome.

	This might be very difficult to do (designed economic systems do
not have a good history of success). One approach to getting one *might* be
to specify and enforce maximum working hours then gradually reduce them
(while protecting income - tricky that bit) thus forcing employers to
employ more people for less time (or become more efficient, or do less). The
EU is doing this, although I'm not at all sure of the goal.

The old dream was that people could use their free time to volunteer,
compose music or art, or all the other stuff the educated class  thought it
would like to do if it only had the time.  Of course 99% of the people with
time on their hands would actually use it to drink, gamble, take drugs, and
commit crime. That's what we're seeing now.

	If it could be kept down to drink, gamble and take drugs I see no
real problem. This shouldn't be too unreasonable given that most petty crime
is down to not being able to afford things. Some will volunteer, compose
music and art or do other worthwhile things (like help those who do too
much drinking, gambling and taking drugs) - some of these may also spend
some of their time drinking, gambling and taking drugs (and why shouldn't
they). There may also be a population explosion given that sex is an ever
popular passtime.

The trouble is that some of them, seeking some purpose in their lives 
and finding none, will fall under the sway of ideologues.  When one of 
those ideologues is some loony-tune who fancies himself "the caliph" or 
the like and sees violence as a means to power, then you've got big 
trouible.

Hyperbole isn't necessary.  Your 99% figure is pure fantasy.

That's 99% (or something) of the people without jobs.  Drive thru some
areas of town and observe the people sitting on their front steps smoking
and passing around a bottle in a paper bag.  Look at the groups of young
people standing around on streetcorners looking for trouble.

That still doesn't add up to anywhere near 99%.

They will also engage in sex.  The people doing actual work and keeping 
things going will be under represented in the next generation, after all 
they are tired after working all day.

I don't think this is going to end well.

	The general idea was always that *nobody* would be working all day,
spread the load so that most people work one day a week or less.

Despite evidence to the contrary in the several small experiments that
were done.

If you intend to just make up shit, why not make up good shit?

About 100 years ago, the wives of the wealthy class spent time volunteering
to help the poor, such as teaching classes in English, housekeeping,
etc.  The problem was that the volunteer work, while very helpful,
was not enough to solve some widespread problems of the poor, especially
after the Depression hit (and some of the wealthy were now poor and
in need of help themselves).

I don't think that was quite the goal.

When such ideas were discussed, lots of work was very arduous and
dangerous physical labor for long hours that paid very little (and
this included farm labor).  I think what the 'thinkers' had in mind 
was using machines to reduce the physical burden of humans and
reduce the dangers.

	I have seen that goal stated, more than once.

Cartoonist Bill Mauldin wrote that his family had no money when
he was a kid. But they were able to sustain themselves living
off the land, as they lived in a rural area.  A lot of people
lived that way 100 years ago.

Today, far, far more people live in cities where they do not have
land (nor any farming skills) to sustain themselves.  So, they
have to get a job to live.  Up to about 50 years ago there were
factory and laborer jobs for unskilled people.  But automation
and imports has eliminated or reduced many of those jobs.

Actually, some of those people do go into business for themselves,
but that is drug dealing, and illegal.

Yes, they do.  In NYC, around 1890, newly arrived immigrants were 
jammed into slums.  Disease and crime were rampant.  The city's
leaders recognized that those problems would impact the labor supply
they were dependent upon, and also spread into their own communities.
So, they invested their money in various programs to mitigate slum
problems.  A key one was building a subway system to provide cheap
transportation, so the slum dwellers could move out into better
housing.

Obviously, not all poverty relief programs over the last 100 years
were successful, indeed, some backfired.  But your comment "hungry
dogs bite" is correct.

currently reading "The Comanche Empire" ... that came into being in the
16&17 hundreds with the introduction of horses & iron instruments ...
which enabled large nomadic culture all across the mid-west based on
economics of buffalo hunting. Part of their expansion was that their
nomandic culture was more resistant to the smallpox epidemics that
killed off many of the other natives ... and allowed the Comanche Empire
to easily expand into their territories.
