I understand the necessity for automated duties such as car manufacturing plants where precision and uniformity are crucial to the product, but we NEED to retain as many jobs as possible, especially at the entry level. For those of us who have made it past entry level jobs it's not as big a deal but we are setting up our children for a society where it's even harder to break past the poverty line. I refuse to admit this was inevitable, this is an extremely sad use of how we apply technology to our daily lives.

No worries, automation will create new jobs too. Someone will have to repair malfunctioning robots so instead of flipping burgers or being a retail clerk the new entry level job is a local robot repairman ... 

Better yet study STEM subjects like I am since they'll have the best wage and job growth too! 

No, you should still be worried - instead of having 15 employees on shift, you have two operators on shift running the machines. The problem being that A) this will become a specialized job requiring further education beyond high school, thus creating a new cycle of debt for those individuals, and B) this will, again, be a massive blow to those at the entry level who are scrambling for a job that are undereducated.

 

Im telling you guys right now point blank, this will only create more homeless and poverty in America and it is NOT the right solution.

 

 

edit - we are allowing our freedom to be taken by those with the power to do so. I fear a world without the sun
