I'm almost 50. I've got a child. I have limited energy. Expecting me to create a whole new skillset every decade is not reasonable when you get to my age.

"That's just the way it works" could be said of every unjust thing in human history from slavery to voting rights... and I would suggest that the idea that the world should conform to whatever corporations want is pretty damn unjust.

If it were up to me, there would be some sort of UBI, paid into by corporations that replace their employees with AI/robots/whatever, that would support people who have lost their jobs due to automation (and then maybe everyone else after ramp up). I hope that someone young like you can run for office one day and make it happen
