I'm sick of this automation doomsday scare mongering. When human labor demand is removed by automation they can be re-purposed elsewhere. It's not going to eat away at all our labor markets until we're all jobless. People will develop some new idea that needs a new labor market, people will come flooding in, efficiency will improve, and automation edges humans out. Until robots are superior in every way to humans and we reach a post-scarcity society there is no need to drastically alter our economics.
