> The fact that productivity gains are bad for employees (labour vs capital) should raise significant questions about the economic systems that we have in place. yup, exact same argument was made against installing these machines on the product lines instead of having 20 people there. the problem is not the machine, it's the never ending uncontrolled capitalism of being seeing as a failing company, if your productivity and benefits don't growth year after year. If they stay stagnant? failed company.
