That is nonsense. In the highly automated USA labor commands an extremely high wage relative to highly non-automated countries (or almost any country, for that matter). Compare low-skilled comp in the US to somewhere like India, or even Japan - which has a lot less automation in shops and offices than you might expect, and correspondingly lower wages.
- southernplaces7 2y agoIt's impressive how many otherwise apparently intelligent people here comment to state as facts what are really their entirely made up opinions growing from some pet dogma. Even when a statement could be debunked with a minimum of consideration (such as in this example) it gets put forth as if it were a sophisticated truth.
