  The failure to automate causes loss; a summary of observations based on the world economy and the progress of leading nations. This is not a criticism but a set of observations supported by the activity of many industrial nations with respect to Vat/Sales Tax, income support and the means by which  these obligations to maintain the population that constitutes the consumer market is maintained. This article constitutes dated, old observations by Fleet Street Journal; Warren A. Lyon, Editor.  

You may have sales but you do not have as much  profit as compared to your competitors.  You may keep building vehicles but eventually, there is a lack of comparative quality.  In the lack of comparative quality, there is a loss in value.  This is followed by a loss in  market share.  The most important issue is the loss in profit.  The business that failed to automate relied on a notion of consumer loyalty that was just a fiction.  They may have thought of the scenario as a "them and us" situation; American or Anglo vs the others. This did not exist in practical experience.  Maybe the managers knew what would happen to their domestic markets and sales if they automated And hesitated in spite of the evident savings and benefit in quality as their nation did not provide any income support basic safety system to protect the workers who suffered automation and job loss. These workers were also the consumers. Without any money following the loss in work caused by automation, they have no money to buy goods as consumers.  The stores will close down and also the car dealerships. Eventually, the car company closes or is taken over by its competitors that also takes the market share.  

Automation saves labor costs.   This is an essential economic point.  

An income support for every citizen saves the consumer market and prevents recessions in spite of on going, evident automation.  This is another essential economic point.  

A VAT that is set at providing and preserving Essential national revenue maintains the nation and enables the nation to maintain, defence, maintain the population with an income support and maintain independence financially militarily.

The three points noted above are essential to the modern automation economies. 

This point of view must have been realised in Egypt a long time ago.  The process of storing wheat in the fat years is a form of automation.  The wind mills designed in Egypt and North Africa grain mills to grind the grain is also evidence of the automation that led to the 11th command. 

As the civilization of Egypt spread out across the world, they shared their wisdom and at times they did not share it in the hope that the people in any barbarian territory would seek the ancient wisdom when the problem of low consumer activities and needed sales due to absence of jobs and money vs. automation would become a problem. It helps Egypt see the demarcation.  Egypt has never been a barbarian territory. It is the beginning. See Exodus 34. 

Either the Barbarian will take the ancient Egyptian wisdoms or they spin around or sink in the decision to renege the direction of successful economies that do not suffer recessions.  

The decision to renege the wisdom may amount to experimentation or debate in an effort to resolve the problem. Maybe you don't automate. Maybe you fool yourself that you are totally independent of all other economies. Maybe you do not pay an income support to each citizen comprehensively that saves every citizen and the economy from recession. You should want to save every citizen. But, what is the hesitation?  You will let more Black and African people into the country anyway.   The other observation is that you raise another generation regardless of race  to celebrate  community and they  show diligent  respect for your work.  They work in the economy. 

Maybe you do not collect the VAT on all consumer items with food zero rated in some kind of debate or negotiation with the notion of the people and their love. But, the most important goal is what you are trying to achieve.  It's not that paying £90.00 per day or 90 Euros per citizen is impossible. Other Economies achieve 136.98 euros a day or more as paid to every citizen. Some pay 90 comprehensively and then another 90 is paid for participation in national work programs.  The Vat is 30% collected on all consumer items.  This article is not an argument but observations about what leading, civilized economies are doing and what they have been doing for centuries on the right side of the demarcation where the economies   never see recession but they will pretend with you. They have car companies that own your car companies.   MG™ is owned by a Chinese company.  They make a good vehicle, celebrating an English motoring Heritage brand.  

The ability to respond quickly to changes in the technological landscape is possible with sobriety and without phones known to cause an emotional, anthropological devolution.  Nonetheless, the Anglo economies have been on the wrong side of the line of civilizational demarcation for too long. If this was a chess game with the phenomenon of technology being the string of logic to navigate, then you lost. The Germans won. The French won. The Dutch won The Swiss won. If this was a World Cup of Economics, the Brazilians won.  The Swedes won. The Italians won. You have not won yet. The Japanese and the Chinese won. 

The Russians won and the Cold war was just a chimera to make you spend and compete but you did not have the basic solution to maintain your economy,  your population or your economic viability.   It's time to achieve the basics and surely everyone is invited to live in Oklahoma or... anywhere in America.  The income support in Oklahoma is now $60,000.00 per year per citizen.

We have to accept that labor involves people and these individuals are not an impersonal factor.  They constitute members of the community whose children attend school and their families amount to the local and national consumer market.  

Automation saves labor costs but it also affects the consumer market when these laborers have less work and therefore less money to shop in the local and national market.  

An income support paying what amounts to 3.5 hours of daily work in a public service job, amounting to £90.00 per day or $90.00 per day ameliorates the impact of automation on the entire Economy. We accept this amount as a small balance of energy or money that evens out the tremendous savings in labor costs when machines now work 24 hours per day at a very small cost vs. the cost in labor and benefits and training. We transfer some of this money saved on the production side of the balance sheet or equation to the Consumer Buying Power side of the equation and we thereby ameliorate the risk of recession and depression. Much of this money constitutes government bail outs, financing and other benefits across various industries and that was provided to various industrial corporations. These payments are no longer needed to the same extent as they were paid based on the number of employees as many are no longer employed due to automation and a portion can now be paid to the citizen as a means of population defence against the impact of automation.

 This is so whether or not the VAT system reflects the national endeavours at a rate of no less than 20% as this figure is followed by most other economies as a minimum figure with a portion paid to the population as income support in the endeavour to ensure population defence against the impact of certain,  evident on going automation.
