        Why not? It’s a great idea. We need people to have any jobs, even terrible, exploitative jobs, and the jobs should be face to face. Back to manual construction! It’s clearly the better path forward.

            Yes because there is no difference in degree at all. Benefitless gig work for the largest, most evil, and anti union companies is literally the exact same as every other job. That’s definitely how communism works. It’s making sure that we keep the worst possible jobs.

              Can you explain? How exactly is letting the largest, most evil, anti-union companies get the robots that they want of any injury to them?

              You use this word ‘evil’, but I don’t think it means anything to you. I think it means you don’t want to be a delivery boy.

              You know what? I’ll pick up a shovel. It’s good excercise.

                Jesus you’re naive. Find me an industry more predatory and exploitative than the delivery gig economy. There are a few, but not many. You virtue signal like a progressive but you’re here simping for one of the worst industry segments and pretending it’s progressive by tossing out random abstract bullshit about how robots are evil and people are struggling. Maybe consider the actual material consequences of your comically childish ideas for once.

                  The material consequences of a delivery service using robot deliverers is that those jobs still exist but no person gets any of that money. All of it gets sucked into Dara Khosrowshahi’s engorged erection.

                  I’ll ask again: How does Uber Eats getting these robots contribute to any of these drivers getting health benefits? That’s something you allegedly care about, right?
