Robotization and automation will leave tens of millions of people in the US without jobs. There's just no way around it.

This is happening as we speak. The next 30 years will be absolutely nuts.

That's why some form of socialism will become inevitable. We will absolutely have to provide millions of people with food, shelter and basic medicine. Or face famine and revolts.

I think that sooner or later we'll end up with higher taxes, and basic income. Over the next 20-30 years we'll have fewer well paid employees making more money, and masses of people out of job market, depending on welfare and government support.
