This will be a big problem in the near future and the federal government should start crafting legislation immediately. I think all humans that lose their job due to a greedy, fat cat tech or robotics company should be compensated with five years of pay and four years of schooling for a new career. If the company refuses than tax the living hell out of them and give all the laid-off folks a guaranteed income for life.

For those who want to look it up on Youtube , its Zager and Evans' In the Year 2525" from 1969
Last verse
Now it is 10,000 years Man has cried a billion tears, But now man's reign is through, Through the eternal night, The twinkling of star light, So very far away. Maybe it was only Yesterday.
In the year 2525 if man can survive if women can survive they may find...
I liked the verse " Every thing you think do and say is in the pill you took today". I can't wait!!!
They were right.
BTW, someday humans will,become extinct, that is the fate of all species.
IN 500-600 years from now historians will look at this era and describe us as barbarians. Just as we described those that lived in the middle ages.
So in this future world, no humans are working or making an income, who will buy all the stuff the robots are making?
Once we have everything we need there is no need to accumulate wealth. Advanced civilizations take care of each other. You are thinking like the animals in the jungle where survival depends on individualism. We are finally living the jungle behind.
Many writers foresee this future think about it. How can we be civilized if we still have folks like the dude that shot the reporters. How can we be civilized if we still have abysmal poverty? How can we be civilized if we are still driven by greed?
Watch this Star Trek episode where folks like you with a 20th century mentality are transported to the 24th century:
I know you are going to say that this is just a TV show. But, if you watch science fiction from the 50s and 60s you will see that many things that were considered science fiction in that era are now a reality such as GPS, videophones, MRI, robotic surgery, self driven cars, etc.

One thing I always regretted was the Gene Roddenberry died before he could tell us how they achieved a money-less society in the 24th century. Now I'm thinking it is automation that got them there. People were no longer yoked to the grindstone in order to sustain their existence.
We are so conditioned to believe that the wage-slavery model of civilization is all there is that we can't even imagine anything else. But the coming wave of automation is going to force us to do just that.

Businesses do not owe anyone a job. The best companies are those that need the least number of workers. This is not communist China were machines are banned and people are guaranteed a job. Why not require construction companies to eliminate all their heavy equipment and give everyone a shovel? Why not eliminate shovels and give everyone a spoon? More workers would be needed.
