It's happening but that doesn't mean a) we should just bend over and accept being fucked over due to some vague robot threat in the future or b) make jokes about workers having to bend over.

No one in this thread made any jokes about the situation and characterizing the comments as such is disingenuous.

    That wasn't a joke it was a statement of the reality of the situation which is that the labor performed by the people striking will likely be moved to automation, eliminating the job entirely.

      I'm not a complete idiot like you're making me out to be. There is clearly a joking intonation there.

        I think the idea is that other people disagree with the characterization as "clearly having a joking intonation".
