    Exactly. I keep hearing this “they’re taking our jobs” argument, and it’s been going on for a long time. The people saying this are not lookng at the stats of how many people are now employed compared to 10, 100 years ago. From the industrial revolution onwards, it’s been generally an upward trend.

      People are worried about the jobs they actually have, not jobs that may or may not appear decades from now.

      Hope is not a strategy.

        Yes, on a personal basis the job losses are devastating. On a societal bssis, they are not.
