What I see happening is a race to the bottom by the way of globalization. Moving jobs to countries that have no workers rights which gets blamed on the liberals because liberals believe in regulations, workers rights and a minimum wage.
It's not our fault that corporations would rather pay some poor worker 4 dollars rather than 10. The companies are just trying to make a profit right? That's always the conservatives response. More concerned about the millions or billions in profits for the company or corporation who pays little to no taxes instead of beijg concerned about the people who do the actual work. And a lot of these people work another job or are on food stamps while these corporations make their billions in profits. Race to the bottom. Then you have politicians wanting no min wage. LOL. It's just a joke.

You have robots and machines replacing people in a lot of jobs. Less training. One person doing the job of 2 or 3 people. Most jobs now are part time or temporary so that corporatons can pay less.

What's gonna happen to the people who are replaced?

In the near future a lot of countries will be trying a basic income type program.
Give people under a certain threshhold enough to live on every month, so maybe 1500 per month. That money goes back into the economy via rent and grocceries. It wouldn't be enough to throw at toys and electronics and fun things. It's either that or things get so bad that people revolt and there's an uprising.
you call it spreading the wealth. I call it trying to save society. Otherwise there will be a breakdown.
