Robots will obliterate America’s middle class and unleash mass unemployment, social chaos and global populist revolts

‘In the next generation or so, highly capable robots will obliterate America’s middle class by displacing tens of millions of workers.

Even in a well educated society, employers grow weary of the behavioral traits of human workers (showing up stoned or drunk, stealing from the workplace, harassing other employees, etc.).
