Robots! I love robots - those robots that replace repetitive -now - poor paying jobs. Think of all the well paid workers that design and build and maintain these complicated machines. As soon as the robot gets installed in a production line it is almost in need of being replaced because of a new model or a robot upgrade. To blame robots for a loss of jobs is just silly to me. ..........NOW, if the robots are being designed and built in Germany, well then that is an issue that maybe needs to be addressed.

That is exactly the type of thinking we need.

"thanks to robots and software, more and more Americans are going to be in unemployment lines."

Need to put SS taxes on robots, or, more precisely, their owners. If GM has a robot that replaces 10 workers, GM pays 10X what they paid for one worker.
