    I don’t disagree, but workers are a part of society too and if automation increases the productivity of the workers, they should get more too.

      UBI, lower taxes, free public transport, free education.

      Many manys I would agree with that. But what you suggest is too difficult and too distorting of the market.

      Say a job get improved because the new version of Microsoft Office is 5% better but no one gets laid off. You can’t even begin to work out things like that.
