I'm already seeing it break small term in both former jobs and my current. An older one recently had to do inflation adjustment and basically raised the wages of the entire bottom half of the company by 3-5$ across the board because post Covid was seeing them have full shutdowns because they couldn't replace what they lost.
I think once they begin to fully automate out entry level work will be when we start to see the larger breaking point, where either we go full retard with UBI or major corporations start seeing actual revolts on a scale too large to quell.
I think we **have ** to start doing UBIs, and at least get a start on a low one, even if its just $10, so all of the organization is set before shit hits the fan. Its inevitable with automation and people's decreasing attention spans and pools of knowledge, generationally.
The alternative is a more controlling government that focuses on optimizing and essentially enforcing higher learning to allow everyone to fit more technical positions. I don't think that would roll over very well with most people, especially since it would likely mean limiting social media or smart phone usage.
