Much as we may hate to admit it, the middle class was founded on the backs of factory workers.
That's fine, but times change. Do you want to halt automation to keep 'dumb' labor jobs? Ain't gonna happen.
Just commenting that the loss of those 'dumb' labor jobs may mean the demise of a large middle class.
You don't have to worry they will always need a guy to string those wires for building the robots if that's what you want to do. But you'll have to be willing to do it for the same price as that guy in China is willing to do it for. For me, I'd rather be the guy that you got to have "right now, money is no object" when that dumb robot who is incappable of thinking outside the box breaks down. Just remember, we don't need buggy whips anymore either, you either adapt or you get left behind. Your life, you get to choose.
