Those people will go back to doing whatever they would have been doing before the technology revolution, which actually wasn’t so long ago… Like maybe go work at a shipyard. We can only build two ships a year it seems…

The technology revolution was so long ago that tech is all I’ve done, and I’m retired now. You think shipyard workers woke up one day in the 80s and said, “fuck welding, imma gonna go program me some computers?”

I’ll just skip over the part where you ignored a lot of those jobs going overseas and are not coming back.

Who is going to be buying ships?
Telling people in tech to touch grass is not the best recipe for upvotes it appears.
