"This is nothing but thinly disguised political diatribe, this person wants a utopian fantasy world to live in."

This is the sort of response with which every technical advance in history has been met.  Mechanized agriculture, the automobile, in vitro fertilization are examples.  We realize that these advances will cause certain jobs to disappear and be replaced by new jobs of a different sort.  These facts don't make it easy for those whose methods of earning a living will cease to exist.  My sympathies, but change is inevitable.  Tens of thousands of lives will be saved each year and incalculable suffering mitigated by the changes that are coming, just in the USA alone.  That's more important than anyone's personal needs or preferences.  Sorry.
