It doesn’t get tired and doesn’t require OSHA approved 30 Min. Meal breaks. Awe but, but it does require a maintenance team to do predictive and preventative maintenance, it requires Automation techs and field engineers. It may require third party software and inventoried parts in the event of a failure. So, automation?

That’s the problem. The 5 people who would conceivably loose jobs will not be the 3 hired for robot maintenance.

Unless they receive training! Which should be subsidized using the tax revenue generated by the increased productivity. But, it probably won’t be. That revenue will instead pad the pocket of an ethically bankrupt politician in return for favors for a billionaire.

That’s the real problem, not the robot.

Completely agree. That’s why communities get left behind. Look at the rust belt…
