re: What should be done about workers who get displaced by technology?

We've made it this far, haven't we? Technology has been replacing workers for a long, long time, and even though the pace of advancement is fast, it is still "gradual" on the large scale. I think the workforce will be able to keep up with the rate of change.

the industrial revolution completely crushed some sectors and those workers were not ok.

The risk of doing nothing is political upheavel. If you give people a little that can stop them from changing the system on you.

I think the gov't should have a relatively active role in encouraging people to adjust to change. I think education credits for displaced workers is a great place to start.
