Oh, our current drivers??? Well I'm sure they'll find other jobs. You know how it is when technology innovates and whatnot!" Luddism was dumb in the 19th century and still is.

Keldoclock posted:Is it really though? I think it might be more like "the toiling laborers have been moved to somewhere, in another nation, where we cannot see them". And its like, the human suffering stays the same and justs gets poured into fewer people. So instead of 100,000 disgruntled cab drivers, you get 1000 slaves mining wolfram with rusty picks and a gun pointed at them all day.
