Nice thought, except we have decades of evidence based on piles of solid, repeated research that job training for displaced workers does not really work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/techreview/status/927955039901093888 …

There is indeed a substantial body of research on displaced workers and job training. Book form from 2004: https://www.amazon.com/Training-Charade-Collection-Technology-Work/dp/0801489512 …. Recent research also coherent, unified on the point. https://twitter.com/jongabriel/status/928301871877509120 …

First, let's get real. This is perfectly addressable *if* we get real. We need job *creation* (obvious: infrastructure & care); make those jobs pay well; narrowly targeted training for some, safety net for some; and make tech and others pay up their taxes.https://twitter.com/neelyandrew/status/928306596190371840 …

Not against any such programs, but will have close to no impact on the displaced worker population. Good for otherwise already advantaged people.https://twitter.com/clofresh/status/928307818855198720 …

Yeah, the research on this is so darn clear, and so accessible with minimal effort. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/70sBachchan/status/928304716655747072 …

Need to address: taxation, off-shore havens, global capital flows, job creation in what sectors, priorities (good jobs in infrastructure and care, for example), safety net, etc. in great length before phrase "job training" is uttered. And taxation.https://twitter.com/scottfromsf/status/928308965565485057 …

There are much potential jobs in infrastructure (re)building for such populations. No point in talking training without creating such jobs and paying well—hence taxation.https://twitter.com/Carnage4Life/status/928313557220966401 …

is this, in a way, an argument for UBI?
