Actually I would argue to social systems and people arguing like this blog post we already have some slowing that process and its effect. We are actually already doing "better" than nature in this regard, because of culture (if you consider sacrificing survivability in exchange for social benefits better).
In general this is just normal evolution, something more efficient replaces something less effecient. And it's not completely stopabble. Let's say you can create laws that force McDonalds to keep staff and not use robots. Then at some point McDonalds will get bankrupt and another company will take its place. Maybe you can make the laws that forces all companies in your country to employ people despite not needing them any more. Then at some point your country will be too poor and gets replaced by another country, either through invasion, or revolution, or both.
