I agree that robots are the future, but I think that some structural changes will be needed. Trying to sell it like no jobs are lost is quite naive at best, and purposefully misleading at worst.&lt;p&gt;If I remember correctly (don&amp;#x27;t quote me on that) Amazon used to employ quite a lot of temporary workers and had a high turnover (hire&amp;#x2F;quit) rate. Then they would no need to purposefully fire anyone to reduce their headcount. Just not temp hiring those people would be enough. Or not hiring as many  people as befoe as they grow. Or ... My point: there are many ways of making it look good on paper; but when a robot does a human job, that job is not needed anymore.&lt;p&gt;What IMO we need to do is to keep on discussing structural unemployment from all points of view.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>As Amazon Pushes Forward with Robots, Workers Find New Roles</title><url>https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/10/technology/amazon-robots-workers.html?mabReward=ART_CTM1&amp;recid=34cea0ca-c023-4fb8-6ca8-9047ebcd5412&amp;recp=0&amp;moduleDetail=recommendations-0&amp;action=click&amp;contentCollection=Politics&amp;region=Footer&amp;module=WhatsNext&amp;version=WhatsNext&amp;contentID=WhatsNext&amp;src=recg&amp;pgtype=article&amp;_r=0</url></story>

&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Wage_share&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;Wage_share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;And i&amp;#x27;m sure the story for the bottom 50% of employees is even worse.&lt;p&gt;The trend is downwards, and the internet accelerated it. Does anyone think that robots and a massive technology boom that may soon happen won&amp;#x27;t accelerate it ? Why ?&lt;p&gt;And from that trend, given minimum wage, it seems that at some point in time, we&amp;#x27;ll have large unemployment.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>As Amazon Pushes Forward with Robots, Workers Find New Roles</title><url>https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/10/technology/amazon-robots-workers.html?mabReward=ART_CTM1&amp;recid=34cea0ca-c023-4fb8-6ca8-9047ebcd5412&amp;recp=0&amp;moduleDetail=recommendations-0&amp;action=click&amp;contentCollection=Politics&amp;region=Footer&amp;module=WhatsNext&amp;version=WhatsNext&amp;contentID=WhatsNext&amp;src=recg&amp;pgtype=article&amp;_r=0</url></story>
