And that was in the 2000s

So yeah, there is huge progress continuing with technology to eat as many jobs as possible. You gave a list, great, and those jobs might never go away, but there may be 2 instead of 5 people employed at those jobs.

I have taken a single person's 4 hour daily job and reduced it to 5 minutes for me, and then automated overnight. Human cannabalization continues
Why hasn't this cannabalization hit China? The more jobs in America, the more jobs that are needed. I think it's a little early for UBI and the death of the USA but then I believe in us.
