We are in uncharted territory and a paradigm shift. We have more people every day and less good paying jobs. The industrial revolution needed more workers to m eet m ore demand. When you have robots and drones providing the labor they jobs created will be less than the jobs lost.
Nothing uncharted about it.
The reason we have less well-paying jobs is due to govt wreaking misery upon society and not allowing markets to work. Has nothing inherent to do with automation.
