Mark Cuban talks about a future with millions less jobs

Billionaire Mark Cuban is best known to most people as the loud talking owner of the Dallas Mavericks and one of the sharks on the Shark Tank TV show.  He's a serial entrepreneur who got into high tech early, started MicroSolutions at age 24, sold it, and later made it big with Broadcast.com.  He's been working in and investing in high tech his whole life.  He's also well known now for vehemently disagreeing with President Trump on most everything, which he addresses in this clip.  Whether you like Mark Cuban or not, he understands tech.

Here are some of the highlights of this interview:

-We're going to have a lot of displaced workers in coming years.
-We'll see more automation in the next 5-10 years than in the last 30.
-We're seeing the "automation of automation."
-"Either software works for you or you work for software... then you're gone."
-The nature of work is changing.
-You have to realize more people will be out of work (because of automation).
- There may be more demand for liberal arts majors than computer coding in ten years.
-He thinks we'll soon need major growth in AmeriCorps (or a similar type program), to put the displaced people to work, maybe MILLIONS of them.
-You have to deal with the issues (and the Trump Administration isn't).

I started really looking into the jobs issue on the macro scale after I couldn't find work here in North Carolina.  I'm a fairly smart, hard working guy, but I couldn't get ANY job.  As a long time Californian, I thought, "OK, I'll just create my own job."  I've known dozens and dozens of people who have started their own businesses, many of whom have become incredibly successful.  But the mentality towards work here in central North Carolina is just, "Get a job."   That 1970's mentality from back before all the factories closed down still prevails.  The same seems to be true in much or small town and rural America.  The established high tech companies and most of the start-ups are clustered in a few regions.  The technology being created has replaced millions of jobs and continues to replace human jobs in large numbers across the country.  This issue is not being worked on to any great degree by the government or anyone else.  Mark Cuban, with his tech background, sees this happening, as do many tech leaders.  But very few other people are thinking about it. 

In this blog, I'm going to dive headfirst into the issue of technology replacing jobs, and how we can find work, preferably meaningful work, for the millions of people who will lose their jobs as we move forward.  The start is to look at the people who are thinking about this issue, like Mark Cuban, and see what they're thinking, and sharing this info with you who are reading this.
