Safest in terms of automation, sure, but the poorer society gets as more and more jobs are automated, the fewer skilled trades will be needed.

- danaris 6y agoI'm not sure why society getting poorer means fewer plumbers and electricians will be needed... Provided you're not actually talking about poor people just dying off in large numbers, we'll still have roughly the same number of households, which means the same number of sinks to unclog and outlets to wire. I suppose it might be true that fewer people will be able to afford the services of skilled professionals, but that's not at all the same as saying that fewer will be needed...
