I was watching an independent news outlet, and they were making the point, for example...
Go into a bank (the ones that haven't closed yet) and the staff may encourage you to go online or download the app for the service you require.
Or go into a supermarket where there are self-service tills, and if you don't want to queue for a till operator, they may suggest you use the self-service.
Are they doing themselves out of a job?
And then we come to GPs, and since covid face-to-face appointments aren't as many as they used to be, and look what's happening...
Adverts to go to the pharmacy for advice

Which begs the question, rooster, what they doing that kept them so busy that they weren't able to see their patients?
There was a story a while back about someone who couldn't get a face-to-face appointment with their GP, so out of need and frustration, decided to go private...And who was offering private appointments...Her GP!  |

So when the jobs are gone to AI, fear not, a form of 'furlough' will be in place for the "useless eaters", in the form of UBI.
This is not a conspiracy theory as pilots for this are already taking place eg in Wales, where the UBI is being trialed at around £1500 / ? month. Obviously it will start off at a generous amount to get the "useless eaters" to accept it, but then who knows, and what conditions will be attached to you receiving it? |

There has also been international interest in the Welsh pilot from experts in Europe and Canada. And other pilots from across the world, including the USA and Finland, have shown how a UBI improves wellbeing, including improved mental and physical health. See, it's all for our own good  |

Shiny, they might have WWW3 or Disease X in the pipeline for the useless eaters, so it may not get to the UBI stage.

And as one of the mouthpieces at the WEF was saying, once AI takes over an estimated 95% of jobs, the useless eaters will have no political power.

My understanding is that the NHS contracts with GPs are centred around the number of patients they maintain on their books. There is not much of a financial incentive for them to provide f2f appointments. Unless of course, it's for add ons like jabs, or private appnts as referenced above.

I tohught they were making themselves scarce to move towards private healthcare and charging as in the States. Higher wages, GP’s are already overpaid the amount of misdiagnoses i have had they aren’t brain surgeons tbh.

Everyone tends to reference the US in these type of debates, but there are far more superior systems that our healthcare could/should be modelled on. Australia for example (ie a hybrid model)
