The demand for the work some of those people were doing only existed because of fantasy estimates of the value of a market.

When that fantasy evaporates, people face hardship.

Worker efficiency makes that more likely, not less.

The real question is if 10 years of fantasy chasing growth followed by a year or two of reality, is better or worse than constant hardship where we never allow the fantasy of chasing growth.
