I already found the same thing in Andrew Yang's book, The War On Normal People. Looks like about two thirds of Americans will become useless, in the terms of heartless economics, by the next decade or so. After that, we will either have to have a UBI or we will have riots and maybe revolution, most likely violent. He talks about so many things that our corporate media and politicians, with the exception of Yang's prez run, refuse to discuss.

I would never consider our selves to be useless unless we are sick or in nursing home and cannot look after ourselves ,but until that time we all have a great wealth of wisdom and knowledge and skills to share with others to help make the world a better place to live

Pity the next generations. People who say they love and care about their kids and then vote tRump and ilk are lying to everyone and even themselves.

So maybe the answer is us not defining ourselves by our occupation, or “usefulness” to our capitalistic overlords, but seeking other purpose. Like loving and caring for other humans, creating art, and problem solving. Yes, those of us already in the Useless Class (retired) are adapting to it.

I would be considered one of the useless class.
