In the past, the promise was that technology and automation would bring increased leisure to people. Well, that's certainly happened, but the increased leisure hasn't meant that people's working hours across the board have been reduced but that significant numbers of people have very few, or no, working hours.
Instead of paying the increased taxes arising from the increased profits that are made due to the reduction in staff costs, large national and multi national companies are using every loophole available to cut their tax bills. That "missing" tax could be used to properly re-skill people to do essential jobs such as nursing, teaching, caring, and to carry out infrastructure and housing projects that would again employ large numbers of people.
By the way, if the original post had been written by a man talking about women, or a young person talking about old people, I'm sure many of us would be annoyed.
