It seems pretty bad all around. Even the privileged are looking at over a third of their jobs vanishing due to automation.

If we’re going to force people to work to live, maybe removing jobs due to automation isn’t the best thing for society.

Well, it certainly isn’t the least painful way, but it’s probably the most likely path towards getting UBI. The government will have to do something when 50%+ of its population is unemployed.

  Yeah, because they’ve crashed through the front gates and the front doors can only hold them off for so long!
