Maybe we don't need machines to do the job people can do. Maybe we need to close ATMs during banking hours. Maybe my gas station does need a full-service pump. Maybe we don't need robots in auto plants. Who does it help when Big Boss Man replaces 5 tellers with a machine that works 24/7 without getting overtime or employer contributions for social security? People aren't corporations; they need food and water, shelter, and clothes. Takes jobs for that.

"On the other hand, we want Americans to have jobs that innovate, "
We don't all have that potential. Half of us have IQ's < 100, and the rest are left of center, but, I digress. We do have need for people doing old-fashioned work. The person who cures cancer of the ebola is still gonna need a mechanic to keep his/her car running.
