Economists that have never worked in industries input is as valid people telling some how to raise a child but have never had a child.
It's going to be a blood bath! Comparing automation to this multi facades 360 killer wave that is approaching is funny. Second industrial revolution hit a few industries this is hitting all at the same time and is growning while it's hitting. This can't be stopped no matter what! Very bleak future!
My industry alone has been decimated by algos you want to work in finance, ain't happening cause algos can do everything you dream of and more. Will write more later.
Edit more:
Comparing the second industrial revolution to what's going on now. Is laughable, the displacement that is happening and will happen will leave a lot of young males jobless. Jobless young males start wars!
