Current situation:
PEOPLE NOT HANGING FROM STREETLAMPS SOLUTION:
No one here is really talking about this topic so... yeah.
In the end, humans are outdated and thus are getting replaced with machines of all sorts. An automation revolution to outdo the industrial revolution as it were. Where dumb artificial muscles were seen as automation, now it is digital minds that is the automation. General Robots are starting to replace factory workers on a scale that only the days of the Gracchi Brothers before the dumpsterfire that is the late Roman Republic period can be equated to.
Here's the rub though, the ones who are seeing this situation for what it is... don't have the power to change it. There is far too many vested interests to basically rewrite economic models entirely (which automation is now doing). There is far too many people on the top that don't have the enlightened self-interest necessary to change their minds without forcing it at gun/sword point. There are far too many people that have been born and raised on mentalities that are so outdated that it's insane...
