Price of automation > Price of Chinese/Indian Labor Wages ... I think the reason we don't have things automated is because of how little companies like Walmart can get away with paying its employees.
A lot of people will look at automation as taking away jobs and thus a sort of 'immoral' pursuit. But I am not sure the average person these days has that much of a 'job' to begin with. :/ (And I mean in both terms of pay AND responsibility)
Is the morality of how humans should be treated (home, food, healthcare, etc.) distinct from how job-dense an economy is?
