For the record, I agree with you but:

>Expert consensus is that it will not in fact change for the better.

Which experts, in what fields, and how were they polled? Can you link something for this? A poll/survey on economists, economic historians, political scientists, political historians, would be solid evidence in your favor.

>There's tons of evidence of companies gearing up literal humanoid robots to replace laborers

Which companies are you talking about here? Are there any recent examples you were thinking of? An economic study or survey on companies or certain industries would be good.

>but not a single country is even talking about labor reform or support for the soon to be billions of unemployed.

This feels really subjective. Andrew Yang has talked about these issues. Bernie Sanders has. Yet, they don't hold much political sway. Does that mean they don't count in "even talking about labor reform" despite being part of a country's government? What counts as a country "talking" about these issues?

I'm willing to bet there's countless examples of individual politicians, specific government organizations, or other such things that showcase some awareness or preparedness. But I agree that it doesn't seem to be a mainstream discussion in the general and political public.
