I like your view point and also agree that white collar now suddenly see a fear of being replaced. But instead of fear, one should adapt and adopt to find the new norm/learning to build on something better as you've mentioned.

It's now more than 15 years I fight for it, I made a political team "Mouvement citoyens Libres", I helped to prove it's affordable, with several knwledgable people, I demonstrated it's feasability to each and every established political party here in Belgium ...
But now, it's time... Working for money is soon HISTORY ... waiting too long will just make people suffer for nothing, just to please a little bit more to those heartless capitalists ...
