It's not just cutting out jobs that it is a problem, it's also the over-supply of clothing and 'fast-fashion' which is creating extra garbage. Auto-mating these things and making it cheaper and easier to move clothes around is only beneficial to those at the top of the capitalism chain - it's not particularly great for the planet.

The people buying those clothes are doing so because they see value out of doing it, so it's beneficial so them as well.

Your point about externalities is still valid, though.
