“I was having a conversation with a venture capitalist, billionaire type, and he looked at me with these amazingly dead eyes and said ‘I can take every company and completely automate it with software and robotics and fire all the humans. We don’t need them anymore.’”

He's just going to sit around watching robots go through the motions to make things that have no purpose, using up energy and resources, but generating no wealth?

Leftist billionaires are shortsighted? Leftists are incapable of logic, regardless of their financial situation!

Someone needs to maintain the robots, too.
