Establish an Endowment whose goal would be to re-train people who are looking to get trained with in-demand skills to off-set the dislocation of labor due to the disruption our workforce will experience due to automation. Teach old dogs new skills/vocations.

This! With the reduction in workforce caused by increased automation or robots, there is going to be a large number of people who will be out of work. If there is a way of training them with newer skills and making them productive, that would alleviate (to some extent) the social disruption.
