The point about housing is quite clearly false. There are around 147 million residential housing units in the US. And there are around 1.4 million built each year (this number fluctuates a lot: it was a third of this during the mortgage crisis, for example). But even if new residential construction is cut in half - that's a change of 0.5%.
It's all right to have an opinion, but it's important to realize when it's based on data and when on emotion.
I don't understand. The leaders are telling us that, with the advent of AI, we are going to need a smaller workforce. Including in Agriculture, where robotics will play a role in force reduction.
You can't have it both ways: you can't be telling us that AI will force people of of jobs and we will need UBI, while decrying reduction in population.
