Blog # 6

I am sticking my decision in my last blog, but if robots replaced most human jobs, the economy was horrible, and half of the American working class was unemployed, the government would need to make a couple changes in order to fix this problem. If I was in that same government there are a few things I would try to do in order to fix it. First off I would look at jobs that cost more for robots to run it than humans, and instantly replace them. I would keep those robots for extra parts, and replacements in case needed so the government won’t need to spend more on unnecessary items. I would then set up simple jobs that may or may not need to be done. For example, how Franklin Delano Roosevelt did during the Great Depression. He had people throughout the day come and paint the White House every single day. I would try to find jobs where humans and robots could work together. So if your looking at an assembly line it may look like going down the line, robot, human, human, and robot. Lastly I would probably have to lower the minimum wage until the country starts again in order to not take a loss. I don’t think if half of the American working class who is unemployed is going to complain about what they get. These are the measures I would use if I was in the government who had to fix some of these problems.
