Jonathan Kamens<p>Let's talk about why Elon Musk wants high unemployment, despite conventional economic theory.<br>The theory says that businesses succeed when customers have the money to buy their products. Therefore, the theory says, it's good for unemployment to remain low, because when it is high there are too many people who can't afford to buy stuff, and businesses fail.<br>Makes sense, right?<br>No, not for Elon Musk, it doesn't.<br>Let's dive in.

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 11, 1811: Luddites attacked looms near Nottingham, England, because automation was threatening their jobs. At the time, workers were suffering from high unemployment, declining wages, an “endless” war with France and food scarcity. On March 11, they smashed machines in Nottingham and demonstrated for job security and higher wages. The protests and property destruction spread across a 70-mile area of England, reaching Manchester. The government sent troops to protect the factories and made machine-breaking punishable by death.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/luddites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>luddites</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>automation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/england" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>england</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wages</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vandalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vandalism</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 6, 1930: 100,000 people demonstrated for jobs in New York City. Demonstrations by unemployed workers, demanding unemployment insurance, occurred in virtually every major U.S. city. In New York, police attacked a crowd of 35,000. In Cleveland, 10,000 people battled police. In Detroit, the Communist Party organized an underemployment demonstration. Over 50,000 people showed up. Thousands took to the streets in Toledo, Flint and Pontiac. These demonstrations led to the creation of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), sponsored by Republican congressman Hamilton Fish, with the support of the American Federation of Labor, to investigate and quash radical activities.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/huac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>huac</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>policebrutality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/greatdepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greatdepression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/riot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>riot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/newyork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newyork</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cleveland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cleveland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/detroit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>detroit</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flint</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/republican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>republican</span></a></p>
