If we don't need their work because productivity is so high, then forever. If we do need their work, we should funnel them into the training they need to do it.

What's in it for me to sustain those who provide nothing of use?

"Let the chips fall where they may" is exactly how we got here. You can't just "retrain" millions of people to be software engineers.

Again with the utopianism.
