The idea that those who contributed to society to make it what it is should see any of the benefits instead of being tossed aside like a rag is not "Utopianism". People lose their jobs TODAY from automation, more jobs in America were lost from automation than "China". Those people may be too old to retrain, and why aren't afforded any share of the benefits from automation? Why when they did the labor to work the mines, factories, and trucks, to bring us to where we are?
