“This is the new model, where you work in these plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here,” U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says.
Development of technology isnt always progress. Sometimes its a step backwards.
Progress depends on if it does good or bad. If it just causes a greater disparity of wealth (while building crappy machines that are designed for obsolescence and people dont need), then it is not progress.
Example: looms are arguably progress (almost everyone needs cloth). Robots that manufacturer ICE SUVs are not progress.
Replacing humans with machines generally results in greater disparity of wealth, historically
You still can’t stop progress, so you’ve got to solve that issue another way

Don’t confuse technological and societal progress.
It may not be positive for society, but you still can’t stop progress, if you don’t develop what’s possible, someone else will.
We can pass laws to prevent things like fossil fuel extraction.
Yeah and the countries that don’t will pass you by and become your next lords. It’s an unfortunate situation humankind is in.
Pass me by how? Look at the US and China. Those have polluted the most and they’re fucking terrible to live there.
If you don’t own the machines you should get supplemental income from being displaced.
You should get income regardless
