Because machines only kill manual labor jobs and a lot of people don't have manual labor jobs
But what about the 90% of people who don’t want toBetter get a skill that can’t be replaced with automation or have a job that can’t be replaced with automation.
Its too far down of an issue like climate change. People don’t care about issues until they blow up in our faces.
But now machines are taking over the basicsPeople fail to realize jobs being taken over by machines have been going on since the industrial revolution.
Cuz this ain't the first time machines made industries more efficient and created job losses. It's happened throughout history. Just like new jobs are always created.
The thing about this tho is people think automation will just hurt poor people. But I think there was a graph that showed many middle class workers will get X'd out as well. A lot of folks do like 2 hours of work a day on a computer and watch YouTube until they go home.
You can't stop evolution, people have to adapt. I do hope there is UBI to take care of food and shelter for people. It needs to be vouchers/cards specifically for that, no cash payments.
There is no middle classWrong... automation that's coming is far different than before . Cost of living is much higher . Theres simply not enough high paying jobs to replace the ones we lost
Part of the reason we don't have 50% unemployment right now is due to high taxes and government spending that keeps a lot of people employed.Automation has never and WILL never take over all jobs. People have been saying this since the cotton gin. If automation was like that, we'd have 50% employment now (considering how fewer farmers we need today than we did 150 years ago to feed everyone).
