Using robots for dreary drudge work could be a good thing with something like UBI to go along with it. But instead of fully automated luxury gay space communism, they will implement “Gilded Age 2.0: The Worser Dystopia”, instead.

Yeah, robots doing drudge work is exactly the future we were promised. It’s just that that’s supposed to allow humans to have more free time to pursue their interests, not die in a ditch from starvation.

Destroying millions of jobs to shave 30 cents off an item, or rather pocket it, what could possibly go wrong.
The problem isn’t the robots taking the jobs. The problem are the capitalists taking it all for themselves. No one wants those jobs man. They fucking suck. Automate them.
I worked there for three years, there’s lots of people who wants those jobs since they pay decently, it certainly better than no job.
They can find some other way to be useful to society.
If they love those jobs so much, they can do them for free.
We shouldn’t stifle technological process and keep jobs people don’t want to do around so the people currently doing them don’t have to adapt.
Good people create bad times.
Fuck the clankers!
Maybe if the robots get damaged at the same rate their workers get injured they’ll get more interested in safety.
When the job requirements are so unsustainable and the safety is so sketchy that they plan for a high turnover rate, robots are the better option.
Yes, people have paid their bills because of these jobs. But I have a hard time believing that the money makes it worth the damage to their health that will follow the worker through their career. There are many other jobs like this that are better left to a machine or else lower the expectations per worker to improve working conditions
I guess there must be other facilities that are much worse, or it depends who your managers are, but when I worked at a FC I thought it was one of the easier jobs I’ve held.
Gonna have to replace Amazon orders with humans soon.
