Investing in AI and production robotics businesses as well as stock stakeholdings would be a good idea.
Robotics maintenance technician will be a good paying job.
Social welfare stipends and payments would be an increasing expense in the budget. The government could create make-work jobs and pay recipients slave-wages equal to the social welfare stipends and payments they would receive every month 
Horse buggy drivers and teamsters adapted, blacksmiths adapted, buggy whip makers folded and their workers adapted to new vocations (or starved).
I see this as a positive thing stimulating new efficiencies -- human workers are getting expensive -- it is time to explore alternatives. |
In a dictatorship, Government can do whatever it likes. In a Democracy, not bought by the 1%, it will be voters who decide. All it needs is to get them to the polling booths and vote for people who represent them.
There are alternatives. Reduce the population to a size that fits. So a couple are only allowed one child, massive tariffs are placed on imported goods from countries that saturate other markets with cheap goods.
As for adapting. Using a model based on the days when buggies were being replaced by cars. Shows you haven't thought it through.
Thinking robots will provide jobs for Americans is another mistake.
