You're advising an individual to deal on their own with a systemic problem...

Sounds callous and egotistical.

Do you advise individuals to ignore problems and not deal with them? What do you propose as the alternative to dealing with a problem? Sit around and wait for somebody else to fix it for you?

Driving, as a job, is going away. Not much is going to change that, nor should it. What is your advice for the drivers? "Sit on your hands, and hope that someone gives you some free money at some point"? Would they not be better served by taking some action to find a new line of work now?

Support companies that care for their employees. Turn your back to those that exploit.

I think it's called capitalism.

That's fine for the long term. But telling someone who's getting automated out of their job "Just support companies that care for their employees" does not improve their situation at all.
