I'll be honest, I didn't read the article, but this came across my feed this morning. It is CNN, so you have to assume it is going to lean far left, but here you go:

Based on what you are saying here, it seems that we need to stop worrying about the jobless rate so much and start thinking about how we are going to sustain everyone. As much as people hate it, the "socialist" ideas of universal basic income and things like that might be more relevant than they wan to admit. If things move towards automation there likely will be many people who don't need to work. How will they live then. Your idea of a fundamental economic shift becomes a bit of a gut punch when you start thinking about that reality.

Sadly it turns into a political issue these days, which everything does. However, the reality is that both sides are going to have to accept some hard truths about what is taking place.
Fortunately, I do not see the decentralization trend slowing down. That is going to put the right on guard since they are going to be attacked via a mass decoupling with their present system. The left will find the same thing as people find ways other than depending upon the nanny state.
It is going to be an interesting few years going forward.

It sounds like it for sure! I need to be doing what I can now to make sure I am not on the wrong side of this whole thing I think. The idea of both sides agreeing on something these days seems like a foreign concept!
