I wonder when this will become a major issue in a US presidential election. Also I wonder what the major parties' stances will be on how to deal with the effects of automation.
- mattnewton 8y agoI wouldn’t hold your breath- this seems unlikely to me because a) the boil is very slowly heating up and by the time the frog notices it will already be really hot and b) there is probably significant political will to keep automation progressing as long as it’s profitible. So people aren’t riled up, but companies could be if you outlawed their cost savings, so it seems like a loser of an issue.

- seanmcdirmid 8y agoI think it already has. A lot of 2016’s drama was in the rust belt. And while some of those jobs went to China and Mexico, probably even more of them were automated away.
