My thought exactly. The core premise of this article is actually thousands of years old, but has never held true. The unfortunate fact is that technological advancement usually brings poverty in its wake.

But then, I also refuse to fear a robot-run future. There are still plenty of people who want handcrafted products, who will continue building a counter-economy to the robot-centric corporate nightmare. We need to push for more of that artisan culture! (One of many reasons I boycott Amazon and avoid online retailers in favor of local businesses.)
