s, the more work is available to those who wish to work.
Even if inflation results from laziness, this substantially benefits workers, and incentivizes a sufficient number of work indifferent people to take easy to find well paying jobs. So society gets all of the workers it needs.
Self driving trucks promise 75% cost savings. Taxis and public transportation could save 90% if self driving. Technology will fill in any labour supply shortages, and just as you prefer to live life without the need for manual collection of water and firewood, you do not want manual driving imposed on you. If wages rise as a result of choices not to work, then automation that saves us all from work, gets accelerated.
Opposition to automation presumes the nonsensical desire to return to manual water and energy collection. Generally, opposition to automation is an insincere euphemism for protecting the empire of work that you are trained to do. For actual work that you want to do or have done, in comparison, technology and processes that make that work easier or faster are always welcome.
