Taxes on what? Corps are famously good at burying profits under expenditure and mergers. And what are you retraining to? We've long abandoned serious manufacturing and mining. Most people's job is the application of knowledge and communication and LLMs are coming for them all. From retail and call centres through to doctors and lawyers. We can't all retrain as plumbers, waiters and surgeons. |

Cool. Let's start with taxing those, or any other place where they bury or hide from taxes. Thanks for the suggestion.
We can also tax on the numbers of job losses vs capital expenditures. IE: if you spend a $Billion on stuff while firing tons of workers, you get taxed more.

As far as retraining: easy solution. Whatever people want to retrain to. The details will work themselves out. The important tidbit is to have large scale mass retraining if this really is the future.
It's not like the government forced me into my current job. I'm more than capable of choosing a new field myself.
And if YOU can't see the possibilities, them you don't have to take the retraining program. But from my perspective, there's plenty of work needed in the USA to improve our country. Plenty of problems to solve.
