I see these articles a lot. They often present similar data and confirm the very long term trend. Without exception, none of the articles ever mention that humans without jobs forever, will simply die out. Humans without means to sustain themselves will simply die out. That is all. It could be different but it is not. This is where we are. And it is natural. Our parents and their parents died before us as we rose to power. Sure dying out and dying of old age aren't necessarily the same but passing your genetic code on is passing your genetic code on whether it is through a machine or a human. Humans are still much better at reproducing our code than machines but not for long. When this line is crossed the discussion will not be about dying middle classes but about massive human population loss through famine and wars. It's inevitable because no one simply gives their power away without dying. This applies to your parents. And their parents. Get ready to die and don't be a wimp about it. Your parents weren't. And neither were their parents.
