Wow!
That's a pretty huge leap there, FRiend. Care to explain how you get from increased manufacturing automation to "more Obama voters"?
And please drop the self-righteous tone, OK? Worship? Come on...
I'm guessing that you use a "transportation robot" called a car or truck. Your home is probably heated by an automated "heating robot" called a furnace. Do you have an automated "dish cleaning robot"? I do. One for cleaning clothes and another for drying them too!
Unless you're living a caveman lifestyle, everyone uses machines to make their lives easier and more productive.
A mechanic who uses a pneumatic impact wrench instead of cranking on a ratchet is participating in the eeeeeevils of mechanical help. A cashier who uses a computerized cash register instead of a pencil and paper is too.
Using machines to do some of our work for us is not a Bad Thing, whether it's an individual or a company. The principle is exactly the same.
Sorry we are long past that point.
It is time to bring jobs back to the USA.
Can you tell me what happens to the employees who lose jobs due to automation/ computerization/robotics?
