Still very unimaginative thinking right there. Releasing human resources from current tasks, combined with greater purchasing power of those with more disposable income creates new opportunities for products and businesses.

I'm not against automation. It is inevitable. But let's not pretend like it is just as inevitable that everything will work itself out.
