I think what he is trying to say is if there is mass unemployment as a result of "all companies following suit", no one will be able to buy their products.

Blue collar workers won't have this problem for a very long time.

It seems obvious that many white collar workers today will have to do something involving physical labor at some point in the future.

I expect I will be facing this in my mid 50s. Really not ideal timing.

Maybe not with AI, but blue collar workers suffered in the same way bc of job flight and automation in decades past.
