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.
There’s an endless carping about infrastructure falling apart - and the reasons new bridges and dams and power plants don’t get built is environmentalists suing to prevent it and unions doing it so slowly that it takes up all the budget to finish one project when we have ten more to complete.
A lot of skilled labor jobs would be created if we built the pipelines, refineries, power plants, new bridges and so forth we need - plus actually repair a lot of roads and older buildings that need it.
Robots free people up to do things robots can’t do.
