    Replacing workers with automation is great, the problem is who benefits from the less work required by fewer people. Our current system, Capitalism, means that increased productivity comes at the workers expense and fewer workers see the benefit.

      Ideally the workers that aren’t needed anymore due to automation make / work at a new company, causing the economy to grow.

        Ah yes, they’ll go find work at all the other places … that are ALSO replacing workers with automation…

        Are you seriously so small minded you cannot imagine how that will only leave the worst jobs for humans, and not give us all more free time or money without a serious restructure of the economy?
