Nicely said. I'd just add that if people are still doing simple, easily automated jobs in a few years, that is terrifying. We can do much better as a society than that.

All that said, there may be a new class of unemployable people that will need to be accounted for in some way. Not sure what that is yet. I can say that I find it unfathomable that government will work on the problem prior to it becoming an issue.
