If having less work that needs to be done is a negative then there's a problem with our system of economics, not with having less work that needs to be done.

Truck driving is not and has never been a middle-class occupation.

False. Truck driving is one of the few steady jobs that remain middle class https://www.bls.gov/ooh/transportation-and-material-moving/m...

You think $44K is a middle-class income?

Thats perception. Most o/o's are firmly upper middle. It's the hired drivers that get shafted, but even they do alright.

More automation is a win for the middle class and every other class. If a society chooses to violently deprive the middle class of economic resources, that's the fault of the police, not the automated economy.

The police might enforce the legal code of a system the funnels economic gains to fewer and fewer people, but they don’t come up with the ideas on which that system is based.
