    Great. So, even if manufacturing does return to the USA – the jobs will not. As everyone predicted. What is the difference if robots have all the manufacturing jobs on US soil instead of foreigners in China? Correct. There is none. Except the company has avoided paying the tariff — whose only purpose was to “bring the jobs back”.

    Quite simply we must boycott any company using robotics. The Trump tariffs are an insane policy, lowering America’s standing in the world, destroying the world economy (and there will be unexpected blow back for that too) and they should be immediately reversed.

      We’ve been on a trend of increasing automation for a long time, and that’s not going to change. Nor should it.

      What? Robots aren’t the problem. The problem is the stubborn refusal to accept that we are moving to a point where not everyone will have to work and that we will have to think about how we can move on from that
