You are being optimistic or pessimistic perhaps based on your post history.
A company can go from 3000 to 300 employees with automation.
Automated Machines do not break down 24/7.
Companies have multiple lines to account for breakdowns.
Companies outsource the repairs so you can have 1 repair tech for 10 companies.

That repair tech will be making 10 bucks an hour due to supply and demand

Repair tech will be at robot maker's local field office. 1 tech per 100 jobs eliminated, so if region saw robots eliminating 2,000 jobs, most likely 20 techs service it. None on payroll where 2,000 were cut. Part of a P/M contract one buys with a lot of automation.

So I gather you are for a universal income or liquidation of humans?
Which is it?

Neither.

As always, we will adapt.

Farming was once a major US occupation, employing a giant % of Americans. Not now. We overcame, without any "Big Gov't Dada" bailing us out.

So we'll just whinge it and hope everything works for the best?
How come planning for the future is the responsible thing to do for individuals but not for a a country where we just hope everything works out ok?
Why do we not do that with everything like defense where we just hope for the best?

Also, Big Government Dada works more for the Big Corporations than it does for the citizens.
Would you like me to cite 200 pages of politicians that were pushed into politics by their employers?

How it is ok for citizens to be on their own but it is ok for corporations to push their lackeys into politics to serve them?

Somehow despite all the jobs list to technology in the last decade unemployment is just a tad over 4%.

Back to the doom and gloom.

?

Corps automate one at a time. We'll adapt. Other occupations will start.

No one worked for Google, Facebook, Twitter 30 years ago.

Microsoft was a small company.

Out with the old occupations, in with the new. Organically.
