The opioid addict cases are probably more when entire cities gets fired because a company moves or shuts down.

Surely there will be cases where those that are replaced are unable to find work, but I am willing to bet that

1. Those cases are somewhat rare

2. They "make sense" (e.g. close to retirement anyway)

The common case is just to get a new job. Maybe the new job is not as good, maybe it is actually better in the long run.

There are plenty of jobs to go around these days. Unemployment is very low.

If I were to give advice I would personally tell people to stop looking for work that is "safe from automation" because over a long horizon very little is safe. Figure out how to work with the technology instead. Don't need to code there are lots of other ways to contribute.
