Robots will replace everyone eventually for most jobs on the market. We've known this for literally decades.

This is not new, everytime we invent something to streamline the process or automate it from the cotton gin to robot assisted factories which are run by barely a dozen people, people lose jobs. Again its not surprising and that one day a lot of these jobs later will be replaced. As we are seeing right now. The problem right now is that our culture and ways to support people who lose their jobs is nonexistent.

We have no way to support people because governments don't see the need. They think those jobs will exist still when we all know pretty well companies are just going to replace every grocery store person with automatic self check outs and have like 4 people in the store to run it down from their usual 15 - 16 strong staff.

This will continue to happen because Captialists see staff as an expense
