This argument only works if you have a career (and lifespan) that spans 100+ years. I'd venture a guess that 0% of Grubhub delivery drivers were farmers a hundred years ago.

Have you talked to a delivery driver in most large cities? Most of them come from countries where they would be a farmer or day laborer.

This ball is going through even your ever-moving goal posts. My statement never claimed people's careers would stay the same and they'd just make more money.

But you didn't provide any support for saying that the specific people who were automated away would make more money. That's what people are objecting to.
