Companies could raise prices and pay reasonable wages. But, instead we'll get some robots to do the job now.Quote from Ricter:
Not long ago the argument was that US citizens would do these jobs, if not for cheap foreign labor. Guess that's out, too.

Do you have anything relevant to say other than that old, old, heard a million times comment, dumbass?
You may recall an article I posted a couple months ago that said robots will replace the majority of workers by 2040 or so. And, within 10 years after that, computers will be as smart as we are.Quote from Scataphagos:
If "produce picking robots" were in the cards somewhere, we'd eventually get around to using them.
But what is to be done about/with workers displaced by technology... not only in farm picking, but other areas of labor?
Yet another example of "too many people on the planet... not enough jobs, and especially well-paying ones, for all".
Why would I be steamed? I think you must be steamed.Quote from Ricter:
You're still steamed I see. : )
