And how does your request play out?

We halt any technological improvements which would result in lost jobs. Is there any historical precedence for such a thing?

I didn't make a request nor did I ever pretend to know the answer.

What I do know though, is wanting someone's job to be automated soon so she can pursue her hobbies on some personal hope for a basic income, which there isn't a historical precedence for either, is not something she should be excited for.
