    Nowhere, not once, did I say we should stop tech from taking jobs. I didn’t even imply that outcome. I would even say I directly contradicted that. Yet you introduced it as the easy-to-dunk-on premise and then proceeded to dunk on it.

    It’s a textbook strawman. Not only that, but it is the exact one I referenced in my post, so I guess I’ll just copy and paste:

    Workers speak out that they are being hurt by a new technology and need support and instead of hearing the pain and considering what support would be fair, they’re instead painted as being anti-progress and told they should just lay down and get run over because the overall economy will still be fine in the end (and who cares if a few people are flattened in the process).
