I'm adding different videos to serve as examples for this discussion. How many jobs can be lost because stores no longer need humans to clean the floors?
Next we have Walmart working on self driving shopping carts. These shopping carts will be able to drive themselves back to where carts are kept in the stores. So no more cart pushers? How many more jobs will be lost because this will not just be Walmart doing it in the upcoming years.
How many delivery drivers will eventually lose jobs to robots that can deliver some packages without humans?
Would anyone actually want a robot to deliver your pizza? Amazon doesn't need many humans anymore, do they?
Technology will advance which is expected but what happens to the potentially endless millions of people that will lose jobs over the upcoming years?
This is posted on the GAW because it is relevant, very much so. The DS can have people being reduced to sitting at home collecting a check, maybe the universal basic income.
People will become more dependent on the wannabe masters of the world that hold all the wealth. Those same people push for technology to remove more and more human jobs because then there are not enough jobs left for these people so they are forced to sit at home and let the government take care of them.
I don't want robots doing everything for me. I don't want a robot helping me to shop. I have a fucking brain and actually enjoy shopping. I don't want a robot to ruin that for me. I don't want to sit on my fucking ass at home and order my entire life online and have robots deliver it to me at home.
How long until there are robot toilets that will lick your ass crack clean for you and blow it dry without needing toilet paper? I know that sounds crazy but we live in crazy times so nothing would surprise me.
Technology is good but we can't allow technology to make millions of people jobless and dependent on government because there are no longer any jobs for them.
No matter how things advance, there still has to be some form of currency and work. If robots did everything for us and we sat home not having to do anything then what good is money?
This is slowly leading to the elite using wealth and power to control the population. When people no longer are needed for jobs, what good are they then? It all ties into the great reset. Less humans needed for work so why keep those humans alive on the planet?

Thanks for the detailed write-up!
I've long thought about this as well. One thing that I haven't figured out is how will people find purpose in such a life. As much as I enjoy the space-faring Star Trek series, I wonder how a human's sense of purpose would evolve. I know that I've been drawn to the mixed reality field since creating those experiences for people can be transformative.
Many of us just want to live life in peace doing whatever makes us happy. The issue with robots taking jobs is about people having a means to pay for goods. If you want to buy a new TV, there's a long process involved.
Someone is paid to build and put together the TV. Then someone is paid to box up the TV and someone else is paid to load the TV into a trailer. Then you have a driver that delivers it sometimes to a shipping yard.
Then someone else loads it into a container on a container ship. Then you have a crew running the ship to transport it. Then at the next shipping docks there's people paid to unloaded then more drivers to deliver to distribution centers then people stocking putting items away then putting together orders for a local store.
The local store has people going over inventory of what to order. Then someone in that store has to stock the items on shelves then cashiers. These are not made in USA right now but if they were then you'd remove the shipping container boat part.
I went through the entire process because I've worked in all of those fields before. Given that all of those people have to be paid for their time and labor, the cost has to trickle down all the way to the consumer buying the finished product. We can't expect things to happen without currency so people having jobs is important.
I didn't appreciate that sense of purpose to earn what they get in life until a long conversation with my Dad. He can't from Vietnam with my Mom with very little, and they've worked very hard for what they have.
I offered for awhile to take off a lot of bills with my sister, but he always hung into a few. He said that it have him a reason to get up in the morning. With all of those jobs that you mentioned, there's still a human there for it. What happens when 100% and not just 95% get automated? Do you think that could ever happen with all of the automation going on? Or will more roles evolve?
One thing that has continued to make others think is the "just learn to code" statement. Many now won't learn to code because they don't enjoy it in life. "Learning to code" drives people to a field where they might code themselves out of a job unless they are in the top 0.1% in the future.
People saying learn to code might be great for some but lots of people would hate it and not want that as a job. People shouldn't have to have jobs they hate just to survive in life.
Those that work for what they get in life will not owe anyone anything. The DS and CB wants everyone in debt because they can obtain some control that way.
If you have a mortgage, what happens if you're famous on social media and are pro Trump anti Biden and the bank holding the mortgage finds a way to void your contract and foreclose on your house and leave you homeless.
The government can seize your own even if you own it, if they deem it necessary. There are many very crooked things in life that should be illegal but government and big business seems to always get away with fucking over the little guy.
Things that are automated, including robots, can be remotely monitored. One single person could easily monitor hundreds remotely which effectively can kill hundreds of jobs just in one instance.
