Your employment chart got me wondering how that compares to population. Turns out Y2K was the high water mark for employment.

You're right that this is all portrayed negatively when we should be thanking our lucky stars to live in such an advanced age. I just saw a headline that restaurants were turning to ordering through an app so they don't have to have as many waiters. And my first reaction was thank god they won't fuck up my order now.

The trick to technological unemployment is finding meaning in one's life without a job. Lots of people say they want to live the easy life, but it ends up not being so easy.
