We are headed twords the most common job [0] in each state being automated in 10-20 years. Then we [USA at least] will have a much larger unemployment problem till deal with, as the truckers are >=90% men[1].
So then we have a bunch of middle age men who formerly had decent jobs seeing those jobs go away. The economy in much of the country will have to adapt, and that is where UBI or some type of socialism will need to take over.
If you think the disenfranchisement that led to the election of Donald Trump was bad, imagine when the remainder of these jobs vanish..
