> governments should be making changes to make the economic transition more smooth.
With what money. Knowledge work brings in taxes. Taxes are spent redistributing wealth so that the bottom percent are cared for.
But all that money will be concentrated into the hands of the few (even more than it is now) and china.
After all caring for the poor is socialism, and we can't have that.
Forget about "money", and the economy in general as you know it. All that's going out the window because it's rooted in wage labour aka jobs, which will ultimately disappear. Those who don't like the actually-effective-but-highly-disliked system... well things are just going to suck for them.
