I don’t have a good answer to someone saying this is either right or wrong.

Society needs simple jobs that people can build lives around. But we can’t build policy around forcing those jobs to exist.

When the expectation that you should have a house, a job, a family and everything else becomes unavailable, what then?

I know what you mean. This seems like an argument for universal basic income.

People clearly need money. But I don’t like the idea of people forced to stand around doing the same little thing over and over all day. It’s just a recipe for RSI, and as many of us here on HN know that’s not fun.

Seems like those people could be put to work doing something better if a robot can do that job. Creative things, human things, whatever.

I like the idea of automating more things. But I agree we need a solution for the people who are displaced. To make their lives better. Just dumping them in the corner without money certainly isn’t an improvement.
