Between 98-04 the us lost 4 million jobs to China in the same period China lost 18 million jobs to the... robots. In my mind outsourcing is really just the step before automation. I think next election is going to be about exactly that and wouldnt be surprised if a candidate is going to have basic income as one of their key promises.
