The thread isn’t about jobs, though.

But lots of jobs can be automated. What happens when there are no other jobs to replace them and the people put out of work can’t afford to buy the products? Can they all be retrained as bot maintenance? Where are the replacement jobs? Working people don’t want to be forced on to welfare.

Can they all be retrained as bot maintenance?

I think you would be surprised at how many will and contrary to popular belief, they won't need college educations to do it.

I'm a high school dropout and I learned to program, operate, and maintain painting robots while on the job. Its how I became the foreman on that job.
