Edit: this is in regards to California Rep. Mark Takano's bill, in the US.

I had a nice, big writeup and realized I can just iterate my worry more succinctly:

Businesses that can, will, use this to save costs.

Stan McBusinessowner says, "All of the product, possibly more, we're used to creating can be generated in 80% of the time? Oh, cool, that's a 20% reduction in labor cost!" While Kelly Employee loses 20% of her paycheck.

Are the industries where this cannot happen greater than I can imagine? Would, perhaps, the effects on the job market create an effect where wages grow to compensate and I just don't see it? Are there workers protections wrapped into this legislation? Chances of a bill like this passing are probably low, are we probably just going to see conversation and evolution and not this change immediately?
