  Of course; to you and me they are human. To their bosses, they are chattel. We’re getting to that attitude even in america by my ken

  Please read what I wrote: "all the work is done by people who are, from the perspective of citizens, quasi-human automatons." The citizens of the Gulf states do not regard the workers as people. That's bad, but if you replace those workers with actual automatons--AIs and robots--then it seems like the system would keep working (from the perspective of the citizens) while removing the immoral aspect of it.

    They do regard them as people and know they are people. They are comfortable with abusing people, that is what it is. In fact, they are not treating them as robots or quasi robots. People dont sexually harass robots for example, they do it to people.
