I was suprised to learn that the main reason Coal Miners are out of work is because of mining automation.
I perceive a world where people just stop buying. Yes--the wealthy will still buy their toys, but their will be a time where so much missery/homelessness; they won't be able to enjoy the luxuries of wealth. Even right now--I feel weird eating in a resturant while a guy outside is hungry.
I feel we will need to open up federal, state, and county land; and allow free camping. (They have made it literally a crime to be homeless.)
I feel a Basic Income will need to be seriously looked into.
I hope we never turn into a country that just overlooks the misery around them. Some days, I feel we have crossed that line.
