Whenever you have large and long-standing Economic Disruption in a society, Social Strife and Political Upheaval seem nearly inevitable
This is the elephant in the room. Newspapers have failed to criticize the current distribution of wealth. (Some of them do this once a year, but they don't run the story as often as that of , for example, terrorism). So in the end the discussion goes to immigration, as if closing borders will solve the problems of all countries. Half of the population votes for it. And you end with things like Brexit, a populist, unrealistic approach to solve their day to day problems. The current economic system needs to be tweaked to adapt to job automation. And it looks like nobody in main media focus on that.
