Those are not your two options. Society will have to reform from technological pressure. Political activism, such as lobbying for a universal basic income, is part of this.
Trying to fight progress just so you can keep your shitty job helps neither you nor society. That energy would be better spent on a future that’s an improvement for everybody.

It seems as though maybe you haven’t studied capitalism or, I dunno, human history?
