its wierd - sitting here designing housing that I will never afford - therefore many of us are archislaves to the techies - then again I can't bite the hand that feeds me
I talk to people in completely different industries and they have the same exact handful of clients as my design firm. It's like the entire economy caters to servicing the .1% (1% seems generous).

Money.
They already have automated many jobs. In the near future most jobs will be automated.
