It was popular a while back to say that coal miners could learn to code. There have also been suggestions that employees can be retrained to do other jobs, such as maintaining the robots that replaced them. I don't think these ideas are entirely wrong, except that the Bell curve distribution tells us that there is a certain segment of the population that simply do not have the capacity to learn programming or automation. I haven't seen any ideas on what to do with these workers other than offer a UBI. COVID has been a merciless catalyst for change.
