The molsem robots may come with those big explosion self destruct options.
It is a fundamental economic principle that labor and capital are interchangeable. It is only a matter of cost that determines the optimum amount of labor and capital. As labor costs increase without any increase in output, it becomes more and more feasible to replace labor with capital, that is automate. The ultimate outcome of the push for higher minimum wages is that employers will find it increasingly cost effective to replace workers with machines. Consider the telephone system a few decades ago when operators connected the calls. Dial technology ended these jobs, but improved telephone services and technologies. If mgovernment had acted to preserve those telephone operators jobs, it is unlikely we would have our current cell phone technology.
I’m thinking they’ll look like the fem bots from the Austin Powers movie.
The trouble is that guest workers are pushed towards those fields in alarming numbers.
Not sure about what will happen to displaced citizens, but it seems like the current philosophy is to put them on SSI/SSDI and write them off from regular (read: non-temporary) employment.
A set quota for all races based on population would probably be better than what it is quickly becoming. Some companies are scared to hire whites.
What could possibly go wrong?
Sort of like BitCoins, right ?
Eventually, someone will insist on marrying their custom made robot. “I never felt like this before!”
For years, it was common knowledge that cars produced on certain days of the week would be more reliable than others.
This may have been due to the slow encroachment of robots displacing the union workers.
Danger, Will Robinson!
That looks very efficient.
So long as you don’t hit a stray brick mixed with the carrots.
Racial discrimination, be it labeled “reverse” or otherwise is wrong. Whites and Asians should speak out more when it happens.
Is that Sandra Flukes older sister,the one who’s still a virgin?
And you’re right. I lack the tact to do so when the outrage builds within me so I keepy mouth shut so as to not pigeonhole me in the category of bigot. I don’t know how to get liberals and minorities to embrace the concept of merit.
There are a lot of jobs people won’t want machines to do, whether taking care of other people or maintaining the machines.
