The robots have to be programmed.

CADCAM programs still have to be created.

Jobs still have to be setup.

Modern, high-tech, state of the art, machining job shops haven't employed button pushers for many years.

Complete and utter bull****. In fact..they have managed to improve the
machines well enough that they hire nose pickers barely able to read a
mic and put them to running those very machines. Which is why Jonboi
is unemployed. He required mic reading training after each potty break
so they finally let him go.



Indeed, but the people for those jobs are not the same
people that were displaced from the manufacturing line jobs.


Gunner, who is in commercial machine shops 5-10 times a week..working
on those machines..and dealing with those nose pickers.
