I am incredibly frustrated with people who simultaneously believe that automation is going to lead to mass unemployment, and that climate change is a pressing global crisis. The two beliefs are incompatible. You can't coherently believe both at the same time.

Why do you believe the people who have the money or power to retool the industrial economy are going to do so for the benefit of poorer people?

I think about this a lot. School/workplace shortages to manage use of the power grid; autonomous vehicles causing a spike in insurance costs for manual cars; local driven agriculture turns into high meat prices; higher electricity prices past a monthly quota;

even more intensely gentrified inner-cities so white collar workers are near business centers; the end of most non-essential community services (parks, libraries). Too much too quick would be devastating. Too little would end up too late.
