Mnuchin on Automation

2017-03-24 16:39:04.838383+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

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.
