No way - I think you just made that up.
Amazon has stated they use over 100,000 robots already - do you really think they have 200,000 employees whose job it is to maintain those robots? Seriously doubt it.
A robot like the one shown, once they perfect it, working 24x7x365 can easily replace 4 FT employees 40x4 = 160 hours a week and there are 168 hours in a day) assuming they work at the same pace - my bet is they will work even faster at many tasks.
Even if this robot costs $1Million dollars, it will pay for itself in 5 years or less if employees are making $15/hour (and getting benefits) - raise that wage to $20 or $25, which unions and democrats are trying to do, and the payback is even sooner.
Every time I hear democrats pushing a new min wage bill I think to myself ‘Its time to invest even more money in robotics companies.’
Every push for a high minimum wage is essentially a subsidy to robotics companies.
Amazon feeds you Bullsh*t. You all Say thank you may we have more please.
Democrats wouldn’t know a Robot if one crawled up their Ass.
