UBI comes to mind.
Comment on Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like.

Maybe we should implement that first and fire all the delivery people second? But as long as Amazon saves money, that’s the important thing.

Find other work? I apologize the rest of the human race doesn’t want to subsidize your lifestyle of thinking as little as possible.

What other work? Do jobs just appear out of the ether for people with delivery experience on their resume?

Truck driver? You know the most common job in the US. Do the people who you are advocating for know you have so little respect for their intelligence that you think they literally can do nothing else except drive a van around? I would be pretty insulted if someone was saying that my limitations were my current job.

You need a different license to drive a big rig truck than you do a package delivery truck. They would have to be retrained. Amazon sure won’t pay for that. Who will?
And do you think trucking wouldn’t also get automated?
