So far, what we see, in most developed countries, is shortage of low-skilled labor. To the best of my knowledge, they haven't invented robots that are both good at making beds, cutting grass, helping the elderly - and that are cheaper than human labor. And, of course, it is not the robots, but the Chinese that have displaced low-skilled workers in manufacturing.

Now, none of this is an argument, that government should not do redistribution - that is a completely separate question. But this particular article to be pure bullsh**t, with no trace of reasonable thought to provide any saving grace whatsoever.

Jobs are only created as and how the government dictates.

Unfortunately, there are many sh**tholes on earth, where that is, indeed, the case.
