The rich get richer. The poor get poorer.
Warehouse jobs are garbage and should be automated. Amazon should also be nationalized. The problem isn’t automation, it is, as always, capitalism.
When companies stop employing people en masse to replace them with robots or AI or similar, who will be left with the money to buy their products?
So… there goes Amazon’s argument that they should ever get preferential tax treatment due to all the jobs they supposedly create
What? No silly. They made those arguments and won those cases so they get preferential taxes for the next 300 years. Regardless of the changing needs of the country or the economy.
Don’t forget how many robot manufacturer jobs they’ve just created! They need more tax breaks for that!
MOAR!!!`
LOL…like they replaced AWS IT with AI last week? How’s that working out?
get rekt, we need more blackouts.
They hope to replace customers with robots too.
Day turk er jawbs!
Well they’re not invested in all of these robotic companies and automation companies because they want to sell the tech to their competitors.
It’s clear that the goal is to have warehouses be more automated, and for deliveries to be handled by things like Zoox.
And honestly, this isn’t just limited to Amazon’s warehouses. All companies that end up with huge warehouse and distribution centers have always been striving to automate as much of the process as possible. Amazon just has the capital to push the tech with in house resources, instead of having to contract it out.
When all of the jobs are gone, who will have any money to put in Prime orders?
How many workers will they need to maintain, repair and retrieve robots?
Those 600,000 workers should quit right fucking now. See how long Amazon lasts before bezos sets all those robots up himself.
Don’t worry, everyone. 95% of our jobs will be replaced with robots.
And I know what you’re thinking. Yes, the money will rightly be given to the billionaires. See, nothing to worry about. Nothing. So glad Trump is doing nothing but deregulation LLM’s and attacking workers rights.
