    Yes, the robots are taking U.S. jobs, new study says
    Robots are taking our jobs, with those in the manufacturing industry feeling the most impact, a new research report says. For every robot per thousand workers, aboutsix workers lost their jobs,according to economists Daron Acemoglu of M.I.T. and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University, who conducted the study for the private, nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research.(Siliconbeat)
     
  2. It's gonna get worse, but don't worry Trump is going to fix it, he's gonna bring us back to medieval times and everyone will have a job.
     
  3. God damn it, why do we need these robots? Maybe it's enough progress?!

    Some people confuse a job with income. Jobs are not needed, income is.

    Income doesn't have to be in the form of money. Good weather and good fishing come to mind. There was a saying in Mexico, even the housekeeper has a housekeeper. The reasoning was that no matter how poor you were, even if you were just a poor housekeeper, you could find somebody poorer than you to clean your house.
    Automation in the past has created more jobs than it ever eliminated. But it did eliminate a lot of horses. There just isn't going to be the same need for a strong animal in the future, and this time we are the animal. But when the last man has the last job on earth, he will still hire somebody to do something for him.
