i'm not going to lie its a GREAT IDEA for someone who runs the company but someone who needs the job /money it is not. just like company's who cut hours so they wont have to pay OVER TIME. So they make 2nd shifts they get more work done because open longer but aint paying over time.

Yea thats way better. Just I saw that some people lost their job because company bought new machine, it can work automatically instead of that people.
Is that fair?

Imagine a world where nobody needs to work anymore. Wouldn' t that be great? The system needs to change (The money and welfare-system) because it is impossible to get everybody a decent job! Its the next logical step. I am happy to see robots do these boring jobs! So we the people can do the more important things: Spending time with family and friends and being more creative!

Because the robots dou the work for us, they create 'Value'. This value should go to the robot owner wich should pay the people who are unemployed. Ether this or an organization shold pay all people a minimum amount for living. They could just create the money in balance with the econimic value these robots create. There may be other solutions, but it should be clear, that our actual system of employment and automization does not work, but it keeps the politicians in power.

Well maybe you should consider how much more efficient you can utilize a given amount of warehouse workers! - It's always worth it!
