I'm guessing you'll be the first to volunteer then? For the greater good and all.
I think you're missing the point, those who lose their jobs to automation are somewhat random / due to environmental factors and not up to choice so it's a bit weird suggesting that.
What they are suggesting is politicians will only act once enough people are suffering in the streets. Not necessarily saying it's morally justified, just that's what it takes for governments to take action. Nobody is defending how our politicians are failing us.
Is that what you gather from my comment? 😳
