The problem, as usual, is one of scale. Quantity has a quality all its own, and all that. We maybe needed to go from 1 artist in 1 million people to 1 artist in 10 000 people. We do *not* need to go from 1 artist in 10 people. And regarding "cheap fine clothes", that was sort of fine. But what about when cars drive themselves (16.2 million persons - 10.3% of the U.S. labor force works in transportation)? AND What about when software mostly writes itself (4,4 million persons)? AND What about when stuff mostly manufactures itself (13 million persons)? AND ... ? (repeat ad-nauseam for every field upended right now by AI) If you think MAGA was bad (MAGA being mostly caused by manufacturing jobs being moved away/automated) what do you think will happen when 40% of the population is unemployed and unemployable, forever?
