as I see it, until now automation has done the opposite. it’s scarcified valuable skilled manufacturing jobs and forced more and more people into the service industry. I don’t see why this will be any different.

that’s the dystopia I’m terrified of, no one starving or homeless, but as penance we all have to be waitors and shop attendants for the landed upper classes
