Except that this problem is strictly american problem that more/less requires nation-wide therapy from the red scare and acceptance of positive sides of socialism and how through grass-root pressure, trade unions and political activism, it actually shaped the western world for the better (an 8-hour workday was a blasphemy before socialism, as just one blatant example). Automation OTOH, is a global problem that requires wider-reaching systemic changes. And while the western world will likely cope by inventing more white-collar bullshit make-believe jobs, people in developing world will likely be hit very hard.
