Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses
Digit will begin its time on the floor by shifting empty tote boxes amid concerns humans will be shifted out of jobs
Amazon is experimenting with humanoid robots for warehouse work.

I do find it funny that just a couple years ago people were talking about the horrible conditions in Amazon warehouses and now we're concerned about humans not needing to do those jobs.
They're not doing these jobs for fun. These are people that have themselves and their families to care for. Its possible to be mistreated at your job while also needing the income from your job
You shouldn't even need to explain this, but thanks for doing it. That shit you replied to was a Ben Shapiro level of disingenuous bullshit argument.
Agreed, so let's celebrate the progress and find alternative ways for people to provide for their families rather than act like robots are taking the desirable jobs.
That's the end game. Get Universal Basic Income up and running. There's plenty of wealth being created for everybody to live a comfortable life if the wealth is more fairly redistributed.
The mega corporations and executives raking in all the wealth depend on civilization for their profits. They need Rule of Law, police, roads, the electrical grid, ports, transport hubs, and all the other public infrastructure. They also need customers and workers. They are 100% dependent on the 99% to exist, yet they share none of the created value with most of the stakeholders in their success.
We need to raise taxes on the wealthy to levels we had a century ago and use that to fund UBI. People will still work, and still want to be productive, but they shouldn't need to worry about rent and groceries regardless of their productivity.
"Draw the rest of the labor-reform owl!"
Some people just hate everything. They're usually the ones that think they could do everything better than the people who are already doing it, but they haven't done anything themselves except complain.
