Establish a mandatory Support Program for workers displaced by automation, akin to a pension for retired employees. This support should match their previous salary and continue indefinitely, regardless of future employment status. To ensure sustainability, this compensation will not adjust for inflation, gradually decreasing its relative financial impact on the company over time.
Concurrently, introduce aggressive tax incentives for businesses that invest in automation technologies. These incentives are designed to alleviate the initial financial burden of adopting new technologies, allowing companies to focus on managing ongoing operational costs.
Together, these policies are designed to generate broad populist support for automation, as workers recognize they will personally benefit, by law, if their jobs are automated. Simultaneously, this encourages companies to invest in these technologies. By aligning both public sentiment and corporate interests, this policy framework aims to position America as the undisputed leader in the process of automation and the future of work.
