Robby the robot is our friend!
I'll just say this: The torch has been passed to, and firmly grasped by the next generation...."workers should be "excited" about having their jobs automated, but were not because of larger systemic issues in American society.
“We should be excited about automation, because what it could potentially mean is more time educating ourselves, more time creating art, more time investing in and investigating the sciences, more time focused on invention, more time going to space, more time enjoying the world that we live in,” she said, according to The Verge. “Because not all creativity needs to be bonded by wage.”
"we're reckoning with the consequences of putting profit above everything else in society. And what that means is people can't afford to live. For me, it's a question of priorities and right now I don't think our model is sustainable."
Ok, so...I didn't say this. Not this time. I don't need to "preach" anymore. These are the words of a politician...if you can believe it.

I don't need to say more. The virus has spread.
The 60-hour work week was common in USA well into the 20th century, but not now. Would you say that all this leisure is being diverted toward such lofty pursuits? Ask your "smart" phone.
