    You really only need to replace 10% of jobs. There are talks of replacing software devs with AI. And developing is one of the more complex tasks in office environment. Imagine 10% of the country rioting. Thats suddendly millions of people. You dont have sufficient police or prisons to handle that.

      During the great depression 1/4 of working Americans were without jobs. This lasted for several years. The average earnings fell by 40% for families.

      Guess what? No revolution.

      So unless we are looking at more than a quarter of the jobs being replaced it isn’t going to make any changes at all honestly.
