So surveyors might need to become truck drivers in the near future. Actually being a truck driver wont work either, maybe a computer programmer? Someone will be needed to program the robots!

There is much talk about the job losses arising out of increased automation. According to this article "47% of jobs in the US are at risk of being automated in the next decade or two". So a number of politicians and policy strategists are advocating a universal basic income, but others are opposed to it.

Well, If you think about it, what should automation mean? It should lead to us all having to work less while maintaining the same standard of living. Instead some are left behind completely while others have to work hard and still struggle. I guess something is going seriously wrong. We are all generating wealth for someone else but not really ourselves...
Unfortunately I have no solution for that...
