"But.......it’ll be like those damn ATM’s that Obama said took all of our jobs."

Automation is coming and yes I expect major labor dislocations from it. This is just one thing. General purpose robots are not far behind. Some are already in production. Manual jobs will be devastated.

All the more reason for us to raise the import tariffs and pull what jobs we can back from overseas. Safety net programs now are nothing compared to what we are going to need when automation really hit's it's stride.
