Mnuchin on Automation

Ya know, if I were going to point 50 to 100 years away when discussion automation being a social and political issue that we're needing to deal with, I'd be pointing to the past, not the future...

I'm largely in a "bring on the automation" mode, and I'm not really sure how much we need to worry about middle America's low-skill manufacturing jobs, I mean the Republicans will probably manage to set up policy to kill off most of those unemployed fairly soon, but "50- 100 more years away" is just bizarre.

Mnuchin on robots taking US jobs: 'It's not even on our radar screen ... 50-100 more years' away.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
