You make this mistake consistently. Machines do not reduce employment. They lower costs and make product substantially cheaper, which usually makes for hugely increased employment.If your job skills are so poor you can replaced by a machine then you have problems anyway.
You do realize that these days, except for court appearances, lawyers can be replaced by machines, right? Do lawyers have poor job skills?
As the number of people who can be replaced by machines increases, as jobs become scarcer and scarcer, the entire economy will have problems. So will those who continue to advocate a laissez-faire approach, in the teeth of rising public anger.
Lampposts and ropes, folks. Lampposts and ropes.

Plusly, the standard of living explodes and the human condition enjoys dramatic advance.
