"We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work. We should be excited by that. But the reason we're not excited by it is because we live in a society where if you don't have a job, you are left to die. And that is, at its core, our problem."

I make no assumptions that they won't eliminate my position, too. What may happen is that I turn from a full time employee with benefits, to a 1099 contractor... or they may replace my job entirely with a roving contractor that serves many regional cities. Right now we are mandated to have one employee by the federal government rules. If they change that, I'm gone.
