I morn the lost type writer manufacturing jobs. The makers of ribbons alone who lost their jobs makes me weep.

Then there are the millions of underpaid though employed women who beavered everyday creating the reams and reams of memos and invoices and statements and letters. Their jobs are all gone.

Tragedy struck the home of cassandra white when she was laid off from her typist job. She was the sole support of her aging father who suffered from mental illness after he lost his job as buggy whip maker. It's just terrible, terrible, terrible

bert bert bert. Nobody is saying that automation is bad per say. What is bad is offshoring. If a factory is automated, overseas and in China it is a threat to national security.

We want our factories back, automated or not, because even an automated factory produces good jobs.

Someone that truly believes in automation would be a staunch protectionist. The higher wages using American labor would hasten the automation process. Moving production to the third world only slows that process down.
