SDR – imagine that, the Fed’s inflation machine actually going to guaranteeing people a living wage instead of pumping up stocks or housing
The-Shoveler – if you can have robots doing work that laborers used to, that’s a GOOD thing. You might be able to bring prices of domestic manufacturing down to the point that it’s competitive with China, while still paying the robot mechanics, QC people, designers, programmers, builders of robots, etc a living wage.
Better robots on US soil than 50-cent-per-hour bio-robots in China or Vietnam. Stop fighting automation. Embrace it. It’s what made the US economy what it was from about 1880 to 1960, and it’s a shame that union obstructionists are fighting it tooth and nail, when they could embrace change and realize that DIFFERENT jobs don’t necessarily mean NO jobs.
