RE: "Self-Driving Cars Will Cause Riots In The Street" - Meet America's First Anti-Automation Candidate

Good article @zer0hedge!

America needs to embrace radical change to prevent AI and automation from thrusting millions of Americans into poverty.

Yes, automation could remove jobs. The word 'robot' literally is a loan word from 'rabotet': 'to work'.

In practice the opposite was always the case: more work, harder, longer work hours. AI could change that for many jobs, but it's a process not an overnight event.
