    The problem isn’t the robots taking the jobs. The problem are the capitalists taking it all for themselves. No one wants those jobs man. They fucking suck. Automate them.

      I worked there for three years, there’s lots of people who wants those jobs since they pay decently, it certainly better than no job.

        I’ve heard conflicting stories. I know three people who’ve worked in three different Amazon warehouses and two of them tell me it’s fine (I haven’t heard that the pay is very good however) and a third telling me it’s basically hell.

        I don’t know any of these people well enough to really be able to tell how much their personality is factoring into their assessments but statistically speaking we have a problem, we now have four different interpretations from four different people. Two saying it’s basically fine but not great, you saying that it’s actually well compensated, and the third telling me it’s awful. So what is it?

        Admittedly, that’s a fairly small sample set, but there is significant variation across it. I suspect a little bit of astroturfing.

        They can find some other way to be useful to society.

        If they love those jobs so much, they can do them for free.

        We shouldn’t stifle technological process and keep jobs people don’t want to do around so the people currently doing them don’t have to adapt.
