We all can eventually be replaced and should be careful what precedents we establish now. “First they came for the warehouse workers...”
It didn't happen with industrial revolution, I doubt it will happen now. Robots will not replace plumbers, waiters, teachers, barbers - at least not in the nearest future.
Clearly one of us has more faith in automation.
More accurately "first they came for the weavers."
Well, the weavers did fight back on their own behalf.
I think they are.
Modern American safety net is far from perfect, but it does a pretty good job making sure people don't die from hunger not freeze to death.
