We should be hearing the outcry from the Illegals soon.

Instead of letting in a bunch of illegals to do farm work, Japan automated it.
Good choice.

We can now end the illegal amnesty argument. You should have seen the future Jeb and Marco. We don’t need a fence, just a bunch of robots on the border.

Just program the robots in “C++/espanol”

Do they have mexican robots that fertilize the fields as they work them so we can still have E-coli outbreaks?

Whatever it is, make it red leaf lettuce and romaine. No iceberg.

A robot won’t drop a deuce in the lettuce patch, either.

From the army of machines that work in Amazon warehouses to automatons that milk cows, the job-taking robots of the future are among us.
++++
The next thing you know they’ll start using robots to assemble our buggy whips. There is simply no end to it.
Added note: Do we actually think we are somehow going to run out of things that need to be done? I don’t think so. Robots don’t steal our jobs, governments do.

Indoor farming has always intrigued me. It's actually called
vertical farming and it's something that's a no-brainer. Everything grown would be organic, free of pesticides, weather, and diseases. This is something that should be vigorously pursued.

I’ve posted other threads about it in the past. I think I used “farming” as a keyword.

There are only two industries. This has always been true....There is the industry of things, and the industry of entertainment....After people have the things they need to live, everything else is entertainment. Everything.
-- Neal Stephenson
We approach a post-scarcity era where machines provide much that we need, and there is diminished need for labor from a great many humans.
But one shudders to think what will pass for "entertainment". The old "knockout game" may be a foretaste.

We filled in our indoor swimming pool with 15 truck loads of top soil. Spring can’t come soon enough for me!

Your observation deserves somber meditation.

Wait, wouldn’t it be easier to fire up my 3D printer and get fresh lettuce materialized right in the kitchen?
