Part 1: Manual and buck wasn't seen by anyone walking to the orchard. Buck though it was a normal stroll. They went to a place known as College Park. Manuel and the stranger talked.

The stranger: “You might wrap up the goods before you deliver ‘m,” he said in a deep voice

Manuel:“Twist it, an’ you’ll choke ’m plentee,”

Buck wore the rope with pride because he trusted Manuel to make good decisions. Buck trusted humans he knew. As soon as the stranger got handed the rope Buck started to growl and fight. But with bucks surprise the rope got tighter around bucks neck making him unable to breathe. Out of furry Buck turned around and sprang towards the stranger. Half way in the air the man caught buck by the throat and pushed buck to the ground with buck on his back. The rope got tighter.

Buck : Buck though he hasn't been treated this viciously by a human his whole life.

The next thing buck knew was his tongue was hunting and that he was being dragged along in some kind of carriage. There was a horrible shriek of a locomotive whistling . He had traveled too often with Judge not to know he was in a baggage car. When buck opened his eyes he realised he was kidnapped. Buck remembered the man springing to his throat but buck dogged and his jaws closed on the hand.

The man said:“Yep, has fits,” hiding the messed hand from the man

The stranger: “I’m takin’ ’m up for the boss to ’Frisco. A crack dog-doctor there thinks that he can cure ’m.”

The stranger:“All I get is fifty for it, an’ I wouldn’t do it over for a thousand, cold cash.” he said grumbling and mad

The stranger's hand was wrapped in a bloody handkerchief and his right pants leg was ripped in half.

The salon keeper :“How much did the other mug get?” said in a demanding voice

The stranger: “A hundred. Wouldn’t take a sou less, so help me.” he said as a reply

The salon keeper: “That makes a hundred and fifty and he’s worth it, or I’m a squarehead.” he said while looking at the stranger

The kidnapper undid the bloody wrappings and looked at his lacerated hand.

Stranger: “If I don’t get the hydrophoby—” he said before getting cut off

Salon keeper: “It’ll be because you was born to hang,” he laughed

Salon keeper: “Here, lend me a hand before you pull your freight,” he added.

i believe the answer is a

yes as the core issue is an ever increasing majority of human workers   will become permanently unemployed as ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines inevitably replace more expensive human workers with each passing year.

economic growth now and in the future requires that fewer jobs are created for human workers. this is the desirable inevitable consequence. the automation of the jobs of human workers is the most profitable economically productive activity on the planet.

so as a global society we need to have a plan to deal with this inevitable change.

automation has been, is and will always be a friend to human society if human society on a global basis is prepared to deal with the inevitable consequences.

what is key is that automation killing all jobs is only a matter of when not if.

the real question is can we get past the now invalid assumption that most humans can work for a decent wage going forward.

i spent my working career increasing automation and increasing efficiency. this consequently reduces the hours worked by humans while increasing the output economic goods and services at an ever decreasing price.

why not have ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines create the vast majority of required economic goods and services as opposed to human workers?

why not have most human workers working less and retiring earlier?

there is much more to life than working forever.

fortunately, automation has been going on for decades and will continue as an irreversible process as ever cheaper ever more intelligent automated machines permanently replace more costly human workers.

i write this answer for the people that have an open mind and are not living in the past this is what i feel most effectively deals with the tractable issues that automation creates.

the question at hand is how we deal with automation going forward as a society.

automation is only a threat because society has yet to acknowledge automation is happening let alone effectively a having a plan to address it.

a conservative libertarian free market idea where individuals choose what economic goods and services are produced in the free market as the free market supply will respond to free market demand. this is not a centrally planned communist economy.
