[quote=bearishgurl][quote=no_such_reality]….Unlike the past in which the workers provide all the labor and were necessary, today, workers are quickly becoming unnecessary.[/quote]
nsr, come back and tell us all this next time you are looking to get a door or countertops installed or a new roof :=0
Or better yet, why don’t you just hire a “robot” to lay your tile while you stay home from work “supervising” the job :=D[/quote]
Walk into home depot, tile design are pre-fab. Counters are pre-fab. Cabinets are pre-fab.
Even in what you mention, 1/10th the labor is needed as what was needed 10 or 20 years ago.
As for my roof, I had it done, a crew of three guys did it in two days. I’m probably good for 20-30 years. Pneumatic nail guns, cranes setting all the materials on the roof, capital and 1/10th the labor.
We’ll never have no labor, but the problem is we can do it on 1/10th the labor.
The obvious question you didn’t answer is what the h*ll do we do with the 9/10th we no longer need? The answer is we need to convert them to think-labor. but even think labor is getting replaced and ultimately almost all of us need to go to creation labor.
As for tile robots, Carnegie Mellon did it back in the 90s, same concept as a DitchWitch.
