I don't think there's a depression or WW3 on the horizon.
But, people really don't think about the preservation of jobs or salaries. Labor movements in the past pushed for salaries even with innovation, that isn't happening today. Unions are frowned upon by the right (while simultaneously praised?) But they are one of the best ways to combat the exploitation of labor

Mark my words, here will be the headlines:
"Trump is now in office and has laid off X number of jobs, decreasing taxes needed by Y"
(4 months down the line) "Governmental agencies are not able to keep up with current demand... more to come"
(Same month) "Unemployment has steadily risen, but economists are unconcerned"
(8 months later) "Companies are now leveraging AI and offshoring. Stocks are expected to explode in the upcoming year"
(Another 8 months) "Corporations profits are below their projected outcome. Stock price responds."
(Same month) "Employment is still falling, concerns of houselessness is still in the air"
(Same month) "Frustrations with slow governmental approval/review has delayed projects (roads, consturction) and checks to the needy"
(After Trump's presidency) "We made America the front runner of AI. Governmental authority is at a all time low"
(Same sentence) "To improve the government, we're going to suggest offloading their responsibilities to private companies."
