>>>>>>No not too bad I accept its a problem but if huge number of service workers arent needed because the market has changed or gone do we just recreate those conditions to keep them going or accept a new reality and help them adjust. I can see more flexible working returning possibly not in the office 5 days a week. that will also reduce the need for a lot of those services.

>>>>Have you travelled on london underground at say 8:30 am . maybe changing onto the Northern Line when one of the others is screwed up (faulty train, leaves on the line etc). Sort of day when you can't get your hand in your pocket becuase its so crowded. Whats the solution for that ?

>>>I have indeed, many times, including having gone to school in London while living outside of it. There are many solutions to this problem and some of them even do not require millions of people to be out of work.

>>and what do you suggest

>Lots of resources to research but the first step is to recognize there is no free solution. Every solution will cost. Some solutions cost money. Other solutions just cost people their jobs and businesses. A simple example starting point would be choosing whether to spend money on unemployement and soup kitchens and social unrest or whether to spend money on transportation infrastructure. Societies will have to choose.

or decentralise so people don't commute en masse. thats an argument for not spending on that sort of infrastructure.
