Losing a job isn’t inherently bad. I’d only bad now because we’ve decided to arrange society around zero sum thinking.

I really hope you’re right, but I don’t see it. I really want to be wrong though. It would be amazing.
I would argue that the same is true with the gig economy. It benefits the people participating in it greatly but it also cost some people their jobs (e.g. taxi drivers).
