We need more immigration. Let them work at McDonalds and Burger
King, etc. The rest of us can get the better paying jobs.
Their jobs at McDonalds and BurgerKing might be wiped out by automatic machines in the near future.
Robots endure much more than immigrants.
BTW: Watched
American Factory days ago. Those Chinese workers work damn so harder than US ones thanks to the low labour right protection in China. However, their hard work is futile. Automatic machines fuck them all in the end.
IF we had robots that could do all the jobs, we could all jump on the welfare bandwagon, and collect a hundred times as much, letting the robots do all the jobs for free. They could even repair themselves, and make their own parts.
But if robots take over only, say, 50% of the jobs, all it means is that more people will have to become inventive, and start their own business. Certainly when people lose their jobs to robots, after their unemployment money runs out, if they don't have a job, they won't be buying products. The whole economy will suffer.
When people don't buy the products that robots make (because they don't have a job or money), companies using robots will shut down for lack of anyone buying their products.
Considering all the interference done by government, it is really difficult to determine how a partial robot economy society would survive. Since there is much automation in manufacturing right now, and since many jobs have already been lost to manufacturing, perhaps the financial instability of the country is the result, already.
