Automation that replaces the need for work can be a good thing, but only if it is used to ease the overall burden instead of making a bunch of people unemployed so that the capitalists who own the company can increase their profits. The idea of machines doing all the work sounds great, but if that means that the handful of people who own the machines have a great quality of life and everyone else suffers then that is not a good trade-off.
This right here. Automation is fantastic. Get rid of those shit jobs so more people’s quality of life can improve. Giving all that quality of life to a select few at the top is where the problem is.
Yeah. With power distributed the way it is now though (mostly concentrated in the hands of a small number of wealthy, connected people), every technological advance will be used against us. These technological advances could really make for a better life for everyone, but not when they’re absolutely dominated by entities whose only real objective is taking as much from us as they possibly can.
Cashier is one of the worst job you can. If machines can replace us for hard work, it’s for the best.
