Whole slews of supply chains collapse all the time. Just look at some rust-belt factories. Or take a look at some 80's computer magazines, where there are an endless number of software companies selling pascal and lisp compilers, BBS software, etc. Not to mention floppy disc drives and CD-ROM drives.

Do you actually not see the difference between widespread sector-agnostic labor disruption and technologies going obsolete? Wondering if this is an actual misunderstanding or you're just pretending.

I never argue in bad faith. I am unaware of any data which show that the economic disruptions do to demographic issues is going to be worse than the economic disruptions due to new tech replacing old.

I also am unaware of any actual data which says that the population is going to shrink faster than productivity increases.
