It never fails to amaze me the panic that can be induced when you mention automation. I can't begin to count how many so-called liberals start wringing their hands when you talk about freeing up workers from menial tasks by automating them.

Will it displace workers? Sure, but the net gain in productivity benefits everyone. More products for lower prices. Workers will retool and reorient; they always have. One thing that is a virtual guarantee in this world is the tenacity of human ingenuity.
