The admonishment is the structural way technological progress screws over poor and vulnerable members of society and proactively detracts from society's well-being.
If the kiosks cause people to lose a job and, say fall behind in rent, then they create homeless people or bad educational outcomes, or any of the other consequences of poverty.
If we want to continue our 35 year old preposterous cult of imagining everyone who is homeless are really just lazy versions Jeff Bezos who don't apply themselves, then we will continue to get the same results having that approach has generated.
It is empirically beyond any reasonable doubt, demonstrably conclusive to be a highly dysfunctional and patently incorrect approach to structuring a society. Sure, let's have kiosks, but let's also prioritize not having profound disruptive deleterious harm to society in the process. There's consequences and costs to all of us for our negligence, incompetence and irresponsibility.
Those who continue to advocate for ignoring this reality are controlled and blinded by their passions and preference. It's terribly wrong and we are suffering the consequences.
