Changes to depreciation treatment in general, taxing revenue instead of profits above a certain target, lots of policy tools available to balance corporate and citizen interests.
A lot of damage to be undone, as you mentioned. I’m not against automation, by any means, just how the gains and productivity from it is currently distributed (versus more equitable models).
The reality is our pop growth is slowing so that these low skills jobs are being eliminated might not be detrimental to our future workforce. The problem is we have sent medium/semi skilled jobs overseas and didn't prepare our workforce for it nor did we "tax" the job shipping to compensate the injured (affected) workforce. We're slapping some tariffs 30 years too late, but I guess it's better then nothing.
