The pressure to automate will just skyrock. I'm more for a global currency which will be given to everyone who does certain jobs we can't automate away or don't want to like nursing, teaching. Everyone around the globe can get worldfiat when they do these jobs. We need to start thinking beyond known capitalism in a modern highly automated world.

There are important reasons to have domestic manufacturing even if automated and not creating jobs.

Sure but that's not enough to give people enough jobs.
