the thing i stuggle with is, outside of manual jobs like plumber, electrician etc (that can't easily be done by ai or outsourced), where are all these new industries coming from that people can just switch to?

most of the office class and a lot of manufacturing has already been lost to cheaper countries and i all i can see is the pie getting smaller and smaller and people fighting more and more to achieve something normal like buying a house.

now obvs I hope I'm wrong and all kinds of cool new jobs will be created, but i can't see it.
