This is actually something I've been thinking about. As long as there's jobs for those displaced to go to, it won't hurt too bad; however, a lot of manufacturing for these technologies are automated already or able to be automated. We're fast approaching a world where there won't be many jobs to be had. This is a big reason I'm beginning to come around to the idea of a minimum income.
so equivalent to tales of terror regarding the great witch Hillary Clinton or the grand demon Donald Trump?
Yes except some of that is up for legitimate concern! Only time will tell.
Exon and BP get killed? No tears shed here. Maybe if they had put a bit into renewables instead of hiring herds of lawyers to fight it they might have had a softer landing.
The sky is not falling...fuck'em.
