If you have AI to do the work, you don't need to keep the poors alive. Puna has a lot of poors. We're already headed for economic catastrophe with fuel costs rising and EBT/medquest requirements getting stricter, along with various other cuts.
AI is the Genie that will not go back in the bottle, but at least we can ensure (at a state and county level) that we get something out of it, rather than get completely screwed by it. We need to help people transition to new employment or community service, rather than a shock to the system. At least on the mainland people can commute or move to deal with loss of a job, but what will we do here when entire classes of jobs are phased out? Did we handle the loss of the plantations well?
