But enough unemployment caused by the next wave of automation is sure going to cause civil unrest.
Look at the chartists, luddite and the saboteurs. Some of them were weavers who up until that point had been in high society, running parts of countries through the guilds system. Then over a couple of years, the bottom fell out and they were cast into the mills like the unlanded labours.
That, was not a smooth transition.
The people that claim "oh there will be new jobs" I mean sure, there probably will be, but they forget to mention the important qualifier: "eventually"
