All I can is that this is what Trump is really scared of
We take it for granted that with the exception of really "SMART" millennials in san fransico/starbucks nobody is aware automation is coming.
The reality is its entirely possible that trump may have advisers who are just as worried about it as names like bill gates/elon musk/insert vally billionaire here.
If we can imagine as consenting educated adults that a billionaire may be taking advice from a person that is smarter than your average star bucks customer it might be possible that this might be part of their grand strategy.
Trump isn't a rebirth of fascism he's a rebirth of the anti globalisation/populist movements that arose during the late 1800s. When protectionism was an absolute norm.
The reality is a very real solution to runaway automation is to shut down borders/trade and restrict the labour supply.
I'm not saying that this is what trump is doing, but it seems like virtually every piece of rhetoric/actions etc falls directly in line with what one would do to adress runaway automation.
