I can imagine I know what youre saying ... no one wants to join the military anymore and no one can blame them. I think, however, automation will take over in the war industry long before it takes over coffee shops. The money the US pours into killing machines will be steady for a long time. US just needs fewer people to do it now.
OTOH, I know few US workers that arent trying to produce and live a better life. The US will always have solid output despite the wealthy few futzing around with everything trying to create another slump to buy everything up.
