I don't want to be mean about it but blows my mind that some progressives are so single-minded about protecting menial dead end jobs from automation. this is literally equivalent to the "if you get rid of slavery how are slaves going to eat and take care of themselves" argument from the 1800s.

@sun well, automation replacing people will create a huge spike in unemployment and this won't be solved in 1-2 years which in turn will have a huge impact on economy etc... you know the jazz. While I fully agree with your statement, I also fully understand people who are afraid of the upcoming future.
@dammn yeah that's fair and it's a real concern.
