Back in the mid 1970’s I was in toastmasters. One speech that I remember was by an engineer. It was about the increasing costs of labor because of government regulation. His closing line was, “but, I don’t care if labor gets more expensive. I design labor saving devices for a living.”

I can image what would have happened if today's Libtards were around when Cyrus McCormick invented the reaper. What an awful thing to do! Think of all those flail and scythe wielders he is going to put out of work!

My mother was in the hospital for a week last spring. The hospital was using a robot to pick and deliver medical supplies from the stock room to the nurse's station. It was fascinating to behold.

My thought of maintaining employment, was to be the one that could fix the machine that took away someone’s job.

I became a Service Engineer for an American machine tool company, working on numerical control, and then computer numerical control machine tools.

I figured I was safe, since I now could fix the machine that made the machine that took someone’s job.

However, the Japanese had a better business model for the machine tool industry, and the American business died.
