I'm not disputing that the nature of jobs and work will change drastically, but why would anyone work when their material needs are easily taken care of by the government?  The only reasons is for personal fulfilment.  If you could get $150,000 a year in welfare, who would work?

Due to decades of gross mismanagement governments only have massive debt. Even if they wanted to, there is no money to hand out to everyone. And mass unemployment will lead to lower tax revenue, making the situation worse.

$150,000? Try $12,000 and a 1 bedroom apartment you share with another family.

AI stole my job back in 96.   1st overall pick of the NBA draft, there was no chance in that next decade the 76ers were ever signing me to run the point. So I pivoted and found a new career.
