"Real myopic"
Says the person who is ignoring a characterisation of long-term trends and fixating on short term affects.
"Who's going to pay to move these people who get displaced out of there jobs"
Nobody, because they don't need to. This is simply leftist conspiracism, people simply aren't suffering from mass unemployment, the median wages have steadily gone up (especially considering PPP per capital).
Just because you get displaced from your industry, doesn't mean that jobs don't exist or that you can't make just as much (or more elsewhere), all doing relatively unskilled work (I.e minimal or zero training).
"Gig economy jobs"
Proof that you literally have no idea what you are talking about. Gig economy jobs exploded during a competitive labour market people choose to work them primarily for work flexibility (often as additional spending money). They had tons of stable job opportunities and they still do.
Complaining about the "gig economy", is inanely out-of-touch, but because one or two idiot journalists whined about it as being some sort of dystopia, everyone jumped on it as some sort of valid critique.
I love how you skipped right past the underemployment and undercompensated workforce that still exist today from all those changes.
You’re real management material. Go write an op-Ed on all the great profits to be made.
"I love how you skipped right past"
Second paragraph addressed that this simply isn't an actual issue.
"Go write an op-ed on all the great profits to be made"
Seems a little an unusual that someone who thinks profits are somewhat immoral (unless redirected towards beneficial goals), is characterised as hyper-capitalist or "management type" simply for pointing out that the narrative of people becoming impoverished due to an increasingly exploitative labor market simply isn't true.
