39 million to 73 million jobs in the U.S. could be destroyed, but about 20 million of those displaced workers can be shifted fairly easily into similar occupations.
If occupation A is automated, and all the ex-As move into similar occupation B, isn't it pretty likely that B is going to be next - by the middle of next week, probably?
Another difference is that in the 1800s there were a lot fewer people around. Some areas were pretty much empty. Others were only populated by brown people who a) didn't have guns and b) were heathens and so didn't count.
There seems to be a complex relationship between industrialisation and imperial expansion and you can make a case for causality running either way, or both. One thing's certain, a tiny place like Britain couldn't have invaded a quarter of the world if all the men had to stay home growing food and making stuff the same way it was done in medieval times.
More likely you'll get a gig job picking up groceries for some lazy ass who thinks a $1 tip is extravagant and probably detrimental to your work ethic.
It is. Picking grocery's was never meant to be a living wage it's for kids and women to earn a little pin money.

When I went to school RFQ stood for Request For Quotation.
Oh, wait. Looks like it still does.
I don't understand either of those things to mean what you say they do. So they absolutely do not mean that. Fun game, this.
We'll make ourselves a new culture, with blackjack and hookers.
OK, I'll bite. What in the name of Gordon H. Bennett is a sodding code wrangler?

You missed out snakes, gorillas and winter.
Did somebody say something?
Pah! Add them together and they're still not a patch on pigs.
I don't see why that bit's particularly important.
When cars came out people didn't say "wait till they get rid of them thar new-fangled wheels and put legs on them, as God intended".

It's lucky you didn't write automated loon. Because there are people who would jump on that and make sarcastic quips.
We won''t need to imagine them. There'll be an AI to do it for us.
Where? Atlantis, perhaps?
Do you think the cost of living hasn't changed in 200 years, or are you knowingly making a bullshit comparison?
