Do you think the responses are unsatisfying Their response to "Maybe we've finally reached the point where there's no work left to be done, or where all the jobs that people can easily be retrained into can be even more easily automated." Is If the problem is automation, and we didn't experience any sudden leap in automation in 2008, then why can't people get back at least the jobs they used to have... Seems there is a pretty easy explanation- recessions and growth are a feature of our financial system, the noise of which dominates the underlying trend. So yes, people lost their jobs in the recession, but jobs have been recovered since the recession too- just not as many, which is what you would expect from a gradual trend. Their responses to the horses question, which I think is a very good question, is merely No, no, a dozen times no, for the dozen reasons already mentioned. and then no mention of the reasons, for which I certainly don't see a dozen.
