I like the list, but you ignore something that every other article on this topic also seems to ignore, the interaction of education and technology. A few other commenters have hinted at the short-term implications of retraining, but there is a much bigger long-term issue that everyone with a upbeat attitude seems to ignore. It is true that people have been winning the race against the machines since the industrial revolution. Winning that race has required ever increasing levels of education. The average time spent in school in the US roughly doubled from 1900 to 2000. Does society work if you double that again? Sure, new jobs are created, but if those jobs all require someone to effectively have a Ph.D. level of training before they can start, can our society handle everyone getting their first real job at 30? What about the people who find they can’t gain skills at that level?
