you want to explain why its better for train drivers to be out of a job?
creative destruction might be better for the system as a whole,
that's different than saying there aren't winners and losers, only winners
the further we go down the wormhole of automating away work, that's a question we shouldn't just blow off
- sdfjkl 13y agoSame reason for anyone in that situation: The sooner they learn/do something else, the sooner they can acquire a new useful skillset, instead of dragging on their now useless one. It's not like this is an intermediate problem and if we just subsidize them long enough, there'll suddenly be a need for train drivers again.
- pitt1980 13y agothere is no guarentee that whatever replacement level work any paticular driver will do will be better than their current situation so how are they better off?
