If we are replaced, it means that a lot of other white collar occupations will also face replacement.
But, we are responsible for a disproportional parcel of the aggregate demand and also, the white collar middle class holds a giant share of all credit.
Put all these people out of a job, and you'll end up with the mother of all economic depressions ever.
Either the powers-that-be find a solution (like return to office was arguably a response to a potential office real estate value crisis) or something else will happen (communism? butlerian jihad?).
Given that all of this is completely out our control, we need to concentrate in what we can control:
1) Save money.
2) Cut expenses.
3) Stay ahead of the curve by learning fanatically.
4) Stay fit and healthy.
5) Don't get emotionally invested in every bit of news you see. Everyone got an agenda, everyone has bias, everyone commit mistakes.

I don't personally feel very optimistic that they are actually trying to find a solution
