I’m not sure if they could picked a creeper way for it to stand up.

    Can’t wait for those things to replace even the last human jobs in factories, just for humans to not benefit from that at all. Just like pretty much all of the other industrialized machinery that was once touted to save us time and make working irrelevant.

          I’m pointing out a very obvious way in which automation does indeed help benefit humans in general. We have access to sophisticated products at very low prices compared to what it would be like if all this stuff was made “by hand.”

              I’m addressing part of your point. You said:

              Just like pretty much all of the other industrialized machinery that was once touted to save us time and make working irrelevant.

              With the clear implication that industrialized machinery hadn’t saved us time. That’s not the case.

                Since your reading comprehension is terribly broken:

                can’t wait for those things to replace even the last human jobs in factories

                Machinery is used to increase GDP, not to reduce worker time. All your time savings are used for other work instead.

                  The stuff I mentioned above is made in factories. It results in cheaper products. That means you don’t have to save up as much money to get that stuff, which means you spend less time working for it.

                  How long would you have to work to earn enough to buy a computer if each computer was hand made?
