Think about how many truck drivers in this country.
This is going to be the first thing that goes away.
And the question about factory workers, a lot of people say, yeah, well, those jobs are terrible anyway.
It'd be great if those jobs went away and people...
You know, they're free to pursue their interests.
You're a 60-year-old man.
You've been working for this factory.
You're looking towards your retirement, and now all of a sudden the plug is pulled.
All the money's gone.
Your 401K has been erased.
Your company's been bought out by another company.
Now everything's automated.
So if you have what Andrew Yang was talking about, this giant epidemic of automation in this country and the solution being universal basic income, but that's not the solution for meaning.

They have to not just take this money from the government, but also take action to give themselves meaning in their life.
