It’s depressing that bulls**t like this is still allowed to go unchallenged. When in the history of capitalism do companies, out of the goodness of their heart, find better paying jobs for workers they don’t need any more?

The only way CEOs call sell this shiny happy future of jobs being automated away, is to be allowed to get away with lies like this. It’s long past the point our politics deals with the reality of automation by AI/robots. It’s already happening, and it’s only going to accelerate.

Humanoid robots will take over factory jobs within 5 years, Xiaomi CEO says

      Not to dunk on the other guy but from my experience even if the country has laws against this nothing will be done unless the wronged person pushes to get something done. The laws don’t matter if citizens don’t make sure they’re enforced.

      People, know your labor rights and use them. No, don’t try to take the high road. A lot of companies expect you to take the high road and trample over you. I know it’s stressful but I can guarantee you’ll feel so much better when the big guy gets fucked by the law.
