Robots Replacing Human Factory Workers at Faster Pace

Robots will cut labor costs by 33 percent in South Korea, 25 percent in Japan, 24 percent in Canada and 22 percent in the United States and Taiwan. Only 10 percent of jobs that can be automated have already been taken by robots. By 2025, the machines will have more than 23 percent, Boston Consulting forecasts.

This should thrill Republicans. Knowing that corporations can make even more money and don't need as many workers. er, uneducated workers. Someone has to build and program the robots. Probably liberals.

A businesses' sole reason for existing is to earn profits. Not provide jobs. This is what capitalism is. A very few prosper, the rank and file majority suffers.

Still, we know who will end up with the jobs. Liberals and immigrants.

The thought of Republicans fixing technology. Hilarious. I suspect many think it's "magic".

Every job has a value.

When the price of having a person do the job exceeds the value of the job then it's time to either eliminate the job or turn it over to a robot.

China is losing jobs to other countries where work can be done at lower cost. What's amusing is Chinese companies moving work to The U.S. - where they're building robotic factories to do it.

in the long run

every job in mechanical industrie

will be replaced by a machine.

human race will be able to produce

without a human touching the material

until it gets into the hands of a human user

mining by machines

refining by machines

machining by machines

production by machines

delivering by machines

who needs humans

to use the product ?

who needs humans

 

[hauke]

you can make machines to use the product
