Discussions around job automation annoy me so much: “$technology can’t replace everything I do so how could there possibly be any job loss” — If it replaces half of what you do then the demand for people like you halves, we don’t need 100% job loss for there to be a big problem! “$technology also creates some jobs” — yes, but what’s the NET effect? Doesn’t matter if it creates 1% new jobs if we loss 20% of existing ones
