Technology isn't the problem.
Workers aren't the problem.
It's the politicians and those who vote for them.
Neither banning robots nor throwing money will solve tbis problem because it is structural to the education system.

To a great extent I agree. A huge problem is the cost of training and education. The only politicians that are addressing it are outliers who are being dismissed or marginalized by political establishment.
But I argue that ultimately increased automation will not create more or as many jobs as it takes. Companies use robots because it makes them more profitable, and labor is a cost. 6 - 3 != 7.
