To me without dramatic change the best-case scenario is a hyper stratified society like something out of The Hunger Games or Guatemala with an occasional mass shooting. The worse case is widespread despair, violence, and the utter collapse of our society and economy. This viewpoint may strike some as extreme, but consider though that trucking protests were common in the final days of the Soviet Union. A large unemployed group of working age men is a common feature in middle eastern countries that experienced political upheaval and there are approximately 270 to 310 million. Those who have other options will flee the field. But for many their opportunities will be minimal and they know it. Many are ex-military. About 5% are Gulf War veterans, ~80,000 worked in transportation in 2012. They'll be proud and desperate. What might happen when the 350,000 American truckers who bought or leased their own trucks are unemployed due to automation and angry? All it takes is one out of 350,000 to lead the others. It doesn't take a big leap of the imagination.

How will we prevent automation from disrupting business?
Nah, it seems like the convergence of the kali yuga is to put us all in the matrix, literally like the movie, the matrix. Or, like the Borg cube from Star Trek, with all our collective minds forming one giant AI consciousness.

>The group I worry about most is poor whites. Even now, people of color report higher levels of optimism than poor whites, despite worse economic circumstances. It's difficult to go from feeling like the pillar of one's society to feeling like an afterthought or failure. There is a strong heritage of military service in many white communities that will be subverted into anti-government militias, nationalist groups, and bunkers in the woods. There will be more random mass shootings in the months ahead as middle-aged white men self-destruct and feel that life has no meaning. As the mindset of scarcity spreads and deepens, people's executive functioning will erode.

Odessa shooter was a laid off trucker. Imagine what happens when the average consumer has no more money to spend. How do we stop it?
i hope so, nothing would please me more than $1000 and the collapse of society

Nope. Realistically get 4 more years

Automation of the transportation business will prevent any kind of protests. A brutally efficient police state with a completely demoralized population, their goal is clear.

UBI implemented "naively" would be the final step towards enslavement rather than the liberation you hope for

Did you just make up your own quote? Wtf?
Jose Moore
read the top of OP's image
that's what it says, unless you contest that andrew yang means rather something along the lines of 'Donald Trump will rewrite America's social contract'
Nolan Allen
It says he highlights the need to rewrite America's social contract. Can't you read?

>social contract that's the term for the concept which satanists used to justify absolutist monarchies
