robots are tools created, guided and operated by humans just as a hammers, ratchets, screwdrivers etc.
"Government will have to do something"Are you saying govt should punish businesses for developing greater efficiencies?
No I'm saying they should help pay the social costs of a nation they are profiting in. If you just live on capital and don't care what happens to the rest of the country you may not think so.

I was watching a program last week about making cars. It was made in the past year or so.
It was like watching a science fiction movie. The machines did almost everything, the robotic arms were incredible. There were a few people working there but it was quite obvious that they were not needed.
I mean if you have a warehouse and don't need workers and can build cars the same way the end is near,

I toured Nissan's plant more than a decade ago. A ton of robots, plus thousands of employees, too.
Auto plants will always need a mix of both. Nissan net headcount is UP versus when I toured them with many other local businessmen. (I was living nearby then.)
