I could consolidate those 5 with a trained chimp, but it wouldnt mean that chimps are about to overthrow mankind.

If general government policies adapted to a world with less available jobs, it wouldn't be an issue.

As it stands, our governments are continuing on as normal despite the introduction of a technology which has the capability to erase an enormous amount of jobs from the pool (certainly many standard office jobs).

A world with less work and no general change in policy (no UBI or similar scheme) is a world with more unemployed people, falling living standards, more crime, and more instability.
