#389 – Benjamin Netanyahu: Israel, Palestine, Power, Corruption, Hate, and Peace

The questions I don't have an answer to is, where does it go? How much does it eat, chew up on jobs? There's an assumption that I'm not sure is true, that all previous, the two big previous revolutions in the human condition, namely the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution, definitely produced more jobs than they consumed, okay? That is not obvious to me at all.

I mean, I could see new jobs creating, and yes, I have that comforting statement, but it's not quite true because I think on balance, they'll probably consume more jobs, many more jobs than they'll create. At least in the short term. And we don't know about the long term.

I don't know about the long term, but I used to have the comfort, being a free market guy, I always said, you know, we're going to produce more jobs than, you know, by, I don't know, limiting certain government jobs.

When I said we're going to create competition, they said, you're going to run us out. We're not going to have more workers. Yeah, they had 13,000 workers. They went down to seven, but we created another 40,000 in the other companies. So that was a comforting thought. I always knew that was true.
