I don’t believe in retraining, not in the modern AI era - nobody will want to do it, and it will not feel like a solution to populous. Instead, companies should be required to pay workers their salaries until they would have retired, period. This way we can have a popular support for automation, it will be something to be celebrated by individuals when their job gets automated, like an early retirement. We can further align our incentives as a country towards automation by incentivizing automation financially from the government to the companies, effectively lowering the cost of transition for them so they can focus on managing operating costs of continuing to pay their employees alongside running the new equipment. I saw a similar post at Guide for workers after automation and commented some more about this concept on it.
