Reply to comment by LizardWizard444 in How would the economies be if AI takes most / all the jobs? by Charming-Coconut-234

Automation has been slowly degrading the middle class for 50 years. The middle class basically is no more.

I was in a higher end grocery store yesterday and all but 2 checkouts were self scan. This store is charging more and making the customers ring themselves out. Its evil genius.

So jobs are being eliminated now at both ends of the middle class through automation.

I dont see how it is sustainable.

Yup I'd recon if 20% of current jobs get removed than the crash comes and everything sucks.
