## Summary

People are already acting on the belief that "robots will take our jobs" before any sign of job loss appears in the data. We have already seen: data center projects blocked by both parties, dockworkers striking over anti-automation demands, and resistance to Waymo.

Before large-scale deployment, a credible answer must be given first—how ordinary people can keep their income, status, and purpose—otherwise politics will obstruct it first, and prosperity will never arrive.
