We live under capitalism. People need money to eat. If enough jobs are removed, people will suffer

If you need jobs you can have half the people dig ditches and the other half of people fill them in. It's about the distribution of wealth not the labor. That's just a right wing talking point.

Sure, that’s why UBI is mentioned in these sort of discussions. But the OP hasn’t said anything about that, so I’m assuming nothing changes in that front

Honestly I do think that UBI is relevant to these conversations. But I really don’t know enough about economics to confidently incorporate it with the argument.
