>and are far more expensive to repair and maintain than a human being Fillpy the robot will not: - need vacations - go on maternity leave - call in sick - steal from work - be rude to customers - go to work hungover from drinking - come in high/stoned at work - sue you for X,Y,Z - sexually harass colleagues - go on strike - start a union All those pale in comparison to repair costs. That's why companies are pushing for automation. Because Flippy does its job quietly and diligently 24/7 without complaining.
