Foreword & Update to

Effects of Automation

Digital Disruption

Technology & Economics for the 99%

Effects of Automation: I developed the Digital Disruption workshop in 2008 – when the subprime mortgage crisis was in full swing and the smartphone was 1 year old.  What became very clear in 2008 was that we Americans have been denied an understanding of how our capitalist economy operates, or even that it has laws of operation. This workshop attempts to answer questions that were being asked in 2008 – and are still being asked. Why is our society falling apart? Why can’t politicians and companies go back to a more reasonable past?

Real economics is not that complicated – everyone can understand the basics needed to see the forces at work, what’s possible and what’s not, who’s lying, and who’s telling us the truths we need to know to solve our problems.

Technology Changes in the Economy: The economy is the DNA of the changes in society, and technology is the key link to the changes in the economy. Whether you see yourself as conservative or liberal, your reality has gone downhill, and mostly in the same ways. This workshop is meant to provide you with the information we all need to move forward and not be manipulated or used for others’ interests.

Update of the Video: What’s happened since this workshop was filmed in 2009? Just …. Occupy Wall Street, 20,000 police killings of civilians (African Americans far out of proportion, but 50% white victims), the Ferguson uprising, exploding homeless camps, the election of Donald Trump, The Squad, George Floyd rebellion, 2020 elections, Jan. 6^th Capitol insurrection, COVID pandemic, the Opioid pharmaceutical murder crisis, and astronomical profits for predatory investment, fossil fuel, and pharmaceutical groups.

Every one of these reflects that changed economy – everything in the video is still true, but more highly developed.

We are in a new economy, not the “old” one, and it will not go back. People are in motion. This video is about the new economy. It’s about today.

Our country and the world stand at a crossroads. Humanity has the potential for economic security and abundance. A community of the people, by the people, and for the people, where children can grow in peace, is possible as never before. Or–if we do nothing—we face increasingly unlivable conditions caused by private ownership of the wealth that human labor has created. The purpose of the League of Revolutionaries for a New America is to build consciousness and unity among the most impacted workers, to be able to secure the needs of humanity, and avoid the destitution and environmental disaster threatening life on our planet as we know it.
