Mish: Reader Question on Robots: What are People Supposed To Do For Their Livelihoods?
One could have asked the same question right before the railroad boom-bust, right before the great depression, right before the internet boom-bust, and right before the housing boom-bust.

So here we are. Unless it's different this time, there will be another advance of some kind that is highly likely to create jobs. I cannot say what or when.
What if it is different this time? I'm certainly a believer that it is. Then what? I was hoping Mish would have an answer for that. No such luck. I therefore offer the following answer to fill in the gap.
1.
2.
3. Got cardboard box?
