The Pew pollsters recently released a new survey about Americans’ dismal view of the nation in three decades: Looking to the Future, Public Sees America in Decline on Many Fronts (full paper in pdf).

 Email This Post |  Print This Post In November of 2017 it was reported that Walmart was trying out floor-scrubber robots in a few of its stores. That testing must have gone well because now the machines are part of a company decision to use technology “to help keep costs in check.” Walmart’s robot floor cleaner scrubs and polishes all by itself with […] March 20th, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: automation, floor cleaner, immigrant, immigration, janitor, low skilled, retail, robot, technology, Walmart |
Email This Post | Print This Post We’ve seen small autonomous shipping vehicles for a couple years now, like the Starship company’s model which has been tested in cities like Austin and Washington DC.

Email This Post | Print This Post In Washington these days, even the supposed defender of sovereignty, President Trump, now admits he thinks increased immigration is needed to fill job slots. Meanwhile, in Silicon Valley and similar tech outposts, experts see automation and artificial intelligence creating a future where fewer human workers are needed to produce more products and services. Assuming they are […] March 11th, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: AI, artificial intelligence, automation, employment, jobs, robots, technological unemployment |
Email This Post | Print This Post In 2018, Las Vegas casino workers organized a strike, and the threatened machine takeover of jobs was a major issue: a Guardian headline from June 2 declared, ‘Robots can’t beat us’: Las Vegas casino workers prep for strike over automation. A deal was struck with MGM, but now the casino sounds like it will renege. Perhaps […] March 8th, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: automation, card-dealer robot, immigration, Las Vegas, MGM, robot, smart machine, technological job loss |
Email This Post | Print This Post Andrew Yang is a technology expert who is running for president in 2020 on what might be called a Tech-Caution platform. Unlike the clueless characters currently running our national government, Yang understands the danger of automation and artificial intelligence — that when smart machines take over major employment categories in America, the economy will fail […] March 2nd, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: Andrew Yang, artificial intelligence, automation, Big Tech, robot, smart machines, technology, Tucker Carlson |
Email This Post | Print This Post Tucker Carlson’s Friday show took a deep dive on some issues that the mainstream press ignores, including immigration. First off, he noted that years of excessive immigration have resulted in “the percentage of immigrants in this country is at its highest level in a hundred years. . . 14 percent.” True enough. Patriotic Americans did not […] February 24th, 2019 | Category: immigration-fueled population growth | Tags: aliens, amnesty, automation, cheap labor immigrants, citizen job loss, Pew poll, President Trump, PwC, SOTU, Trump voters, Tucker Carlson |
Email This Post | Print This Post Monday’s Washington Post noted the continuing improvement of agricultural automation with a front page story about a machine that can handle the requirements of delicate strawberry picking: It’s impossible to see what’s going on inside the big machine since the working parts aren’t visible, so here’s an explanatory video from the company Harvest CROO Robotics from […] February 19th, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: agriculture, aliens, automation, farm workers, illegal immigrants, technology |
Email This Post | Print This Post A recent survey of Democrats vying for the 2020 Presidential nomination runs over a couple dozen, some of whom are familiar mugs from the Congress plus others who are semi-identifiable mayors, business people and failed office seekers. As a result, the lesser known candidates need to make a splash so people will remember them. Today’s example is […] February 17th, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: 2020 election, 2020 Presidential Election, Andrew Yang, automation, President Trump, robot, UBI, universal basic income |
Email This Post | Print This Post A major worry in these parts has been the lack of automation awareness in the Trump administration. The last statement I can recall was in 2017 when Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin remarked, “It’s not even on our radar screen. . . 50-100 more years.” The tech world exploded at that ignorance, reported here: Treasury Secretary […] February 13th, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: artificial intelligence, automation, President Trump, robots, White House |

Email This Post | Print This Post It’s hard to feel sorry for journalists losing their employment because of automation since so many of them have never been sympathetic to the job loss of American workers caused by inexpensive immigrants. But now smart machines are moving into news offices and are already cranking out articles that are heavy on numbers, like finance […] February 6th, 2019 | Category: replacing workers with smart machines | Tags: automation, foreign workers, immigration, media, newspaper, robot, robot reporter, smart machines, technology, technology job loss, unemployment |
