But this life. They have to adapt their business model or get new jobs---halting progress just because you feel sorry for people who may be out of jobs is silly. If we took that approach, we would not have cars because the horse and carriage people would be out of jobs, and we would not have grocery stores because the milkman would be out of a job, and we would not have airplanes because it will put train operators out of work etc. And what about telephone operators? Or bank tellers? These once used to be viable career paths...
