> But the United States has a long track record of creating new jobs in response to disruption, from the electrification of the 1900s to the digital revolution of the 1990s; I don’t see any reason to think this dynamic will stop now.

Again, they are not telling the workers what those "new jobs" are? (Of course they won't).

At that point, that was everything I needed to know and stopped reading further.
