Reply to comment by Devanismyname in How John Deere plans to build a world of fully autonomous farming by 2030 by Shelfrock77

The companies replace human labor with machines to save money and cut costs, not to spread the wage fund over more employees. They are not philanthropists but competition forced capitalists.

Not all jobs will be automated right away. Servers, construction, policing, etc. Lower the hours in places where people are still needed.

You are correct: not all jobs will be automated right away, indeed. No one said they will be. They will be automated only when the automation of a job can be done cheaper and with less errors than the same job performed by a human worker. It was always so.
