I think automation is a very good thing for us.
For example:
In 1950 the US steel industry employed 600,000 people and produced 87.9 million metric tons of steel.
In 2011 the US steel industry employed 85,000 people and produced 86.2 million metric tons of steel.
So we are able to produce the same output but with 7 times less workers.
With higher quality...
In 1950 we led the world in manufacturing.
In 2011 ... we are now 15 trillion in debt, our factories are now all in China, and we are nearly overwhelmed by democrats now.
I’ll take 1950. Bigtime.
