I don't think it's that simple. Entire businesses have to be started and upscaled for this to happen. If enough jobs vanish quickly enough, they don't just reappear. The economy can't react instantly to things like this, it takes years. And if it's happening in all industries simultaneously it may not happen at all.

Well I think we're looking at it from different perspectives.

I don't care about vanishing of the jobs on a mass scale. And the economy not being capable of reacting to it.

I say that human creativity has practically no limits and the drive for the betterment of one's life will always find a way. And probably in a more fulfilling way than just being a nod in the assembly line of corporate products that they themselves can't even afford with the coins they are making there.

So maybe it is better that automation takes over such jobs so people find something else to do. And they will. As always ..

Thanks. But tbf, I wasn't forced into it one way or another. It's my choice to live outdoors, carry water and use a small solar system for phone and small gadgets. I could get a job tomorrow and rent a place next month. But this is what I prefer at the moment and for any lack in my life, that is reasonable, I blame myself because there's many things I could do to make my life better that cost nothing.

I imagine, if you are in Bombay and have 3 children, that's a completely different set of cards, but still there are so many things you can change. In most cases ...

Poverty begets poverty. Poor people are usually too concerned about the next meal to take time for big structural overhauls of their way of doing things.
