It's got nothing to do with supposed labor shortages. It's going to be deployed no matter what. I mean short of actual slavery. And nobody thought these jobs were safe.
Instead of desperately clinging to manual labor we need to figure out what we're going to do with all these people we don't need. Because if we don't figure it out someone else will. I don't mean jobs I mean guns. A dictator will come along and give them guns, and form them up into a military to oppress the rest of us. that's what happen
Well, if history serves as an example, there are basically two ways this can be done: Either peacefully with reforms that create livable conditions for all or violent by them who are denied those conditions trying to take it by force. Also, looking at history, the latter is basically the former with a detour through a couple decades of turmoil where nobody is better off than before.

You are obsessed with armed rebellions. Planning on fomenting one of your own?
