I agree, and that will become only more obvious as we try everything else first.  I suspect that the PTB are not even cognizant of the impact technology has on the lives of hoi polloi, so they are still assuming that a rising tide will lift all boats.  Well, some boats are leaking badly and others have already sunk. 

It's hard to compete for a job that pays little but can be done for next to nothing by a machine.

And I agree as well.
