So are about half of the white collar office roles, so will about half of general warehouse labor with the robotics coming in, including multiple humanoid competitors.
When 30%+ unemployment is the new normal within the decade, will you still side with system of the gluttonous owners who tell us to fight to the death in tribute to their greed? Will you declare that a third of the population dying in the streets as just lazy and not the dwindling employed's problem?
Do you want to live in a society?
For me, I would side with the employers and technological advancement. Reason being that I prefer not to be viewed as an old man scared of new things and being stuck in the past.
That and the fact that the future is always inevitable.
Society…
"Society…"
A group of people that willingly leave a sizeable portion of its members to die is the opposite of a society.
And technology is benign, and could be used for everyone's benefit when combined with taxation on automation and UBI, so that society could benefit from technological advancements, and not just the sociopathic capital hoarders.
