> there is always, always more work yet to do

And they always, always forget that it's not about "work", it's about whether a particular person will be able to contribute work that someone is willing to pay for. It's definitely NOT true that there'll always be more paid work to do that can be done by a particular person.

But this is what you get when these authors are wondering if something is good for "the economy" instead of thinking about actual people.

Yeah, all these "work has always been fine!" writers forget that we've never invented cheap artificial people before.
