More and more prophetic every day.

A viral video released in February showed Boston Dynamics' new bipedal robot, Atlas, performing human-like tasks: opening doors, tromping about in the snow, lifting and stacking boxes. Tech geeks cheered and Silicon Valley investors salivated at the potential end to human manual labor.
Shortly thereafter, White House economists released a forecast that calculated more precisely whom Atlas and other forms of automation are going to put out of work. Most occupations that pay less than $20 an hour are likely to be, in the words of the report, “automated into obsolescence.”

Coming soon, a transformers world. How strange.
Will there be Mexican robots to do the jobs American robots just won’t do?
We’ll have our robots fight the mexican robots. the winner will get all the beans.
I’ll take the robots over the illegal aliens and imported terrorists any day of the week.
Bingo.
Huge issue. No one seems to have a plan. We have lots and lits of people and preciou little need for their labor.
The Agenda 21 People want to drastically reduce population. Very ugly. We need a better alternative — and no one seems to have one.
Too many people advise to be the guy that fixes the robot. I disagree. I want to be the guy that feeds the dogs, whose job it is to keep me away from the robot.
And if this sounds ridiculous, just reflect on that the left has politicized everything from the weather to gender.
“Robots have feelings too!”
Once programmers start to put humanoid faces, voices and artificial intelligence into the “workers”, the left will find a way to make it a “trans-human social justice issue.”
Blade Runner.
“Robots are coming for your job”
Not to quibble, but it is not YOUR job. The job belongs to the company, they own it. You are in realty just the means in which the company gets that job accomplished.
If robots can do it cheaper, any company that is interested in making a profit, will say, “bye-bye” as soon as that robot is installed.
Shudder. Harrison Ford’s fingers didn’t fare well to the gentle ministrations of a robot in Blade Runner.
Actually, I found myself beginning to feel empathy for the robot while the handler was pushing away the box, hitting him in the chest, etc. I wanted to say, “Leave him alone!”
The number of robots will increase, but not because they are economical.
The number of robots will increase because they are slaves. They do what they are told without arguing and they don’t have children.
robots do not vote but Mexicans do.
Who really believes that this flood of robots would stop the flood of illegal aliens..?
will unemployment be nearly 40% or instead 60%?
I think the latter is more likely.
If robots can do it cheaper, any company that is interested in making a profit
But according to women, companies are clearly not interested in making profits, because they hire men and pay them more than women, so they can be mean...
More and more prophetic every day.
I heard from a Blade Runner cult devotee that the inside secret not featured by the film was that Harrison Ford himself finally turned out to be synthetic, too.
This will bring about a bigger redistributionist government than has yet been imagined. People will not allow a small group of wealthy elites to own and control all the factors of production in a highly automated society.
