It is interesting reading the descriptions of amazon warehouses as hell holes relative to other warehouse jobs
I'm curious if there will be room for increased automation in these abusive manual labor areas in logistics. Warehouse work, truck driving etc. If these could be automated, then the workers would no longer be subject to the horrible abuse we read about. Amazon and other I could imagine leading some of these efforts eventually.
Not sure however that moves to reduce manual labor will reduce inequality, the person who owns the equipment that replaces 100 workers may take the profits from that ownership.

Anyone without the capability to automate will be driven out because they can't pay workers, and amazon will if anything become more efficient and have no incoming competition because he legislated his only possible one which would have been cheap labor.
