It sounds like we really should change the system to where automatisation of those jobs is a good thing.
The situation is simply ridiculous - we can feed everyone, there is way enough stuff for everyone (at least in the richer countries, and longterm, everywhere, I'd wager) and it's possible to automate great parts of hard and gruesome work. And yet, the system demands that everyone works and gets stressed out, even if there is not enough to do - it's not just economic restraints, it's also the value people are given in society.
I'm not arguing against social capitalism here, which seems to work better in large scales than anything else we've tried, but this really is a problem and an opportunity that needs to be discussed more.
