Well fucking shit, even chinese slave labor is getting too expensive now. On another tangent, so what type of job is a teenager is able to get after the robots replace all the McJobs?

The new expectation will be to load up on debt to get more and more advanced degrees to stay competitive in an even further dwindling pool of available jobs
That or become part of the criminal mulatto welfare-funded leisure class

They are expanding to the suburbs now. A nice free house in the suburbs for a barely literate 18 year old sounds good to me.

Not bad.

Amazon too has replaced thousands of warehouse workers with robots.
So much for the "we need immigrant cheap labor" line lol.

The economy is inherently self-destructive.
Capitalism means, by very essence, endless quantitative accumulation and valorization of everything, including human relationship. Transhumanism is not some "dope trendy thing", it's just the way of the Capital to monetize the body of humans, for our whole social landscape is now monetized. We've lost direct relationship to things and money is our only way of communicating with the world.
Producing cheaper means: making robots out of humans, or replacing humans with robots altogether.
But robots only produce cheaper, so you need to compensate the loss by producing more goods. Then, you reach a point where the market is flooded with goods that nobody can buy, because everyone is jobless. That's where the economy start to crash, and you need to wipe out the overproduction; there are 2 ways of doing that: a good, fat world war, or opting out of the economy.
It's happening.

If only you could hire people AND don't abuse them. If only. It's too complicated to implement that for a common dumb capitalist.

I work in a warehouse. Thankfully most warehouses are far away from being able to replace with robots. Amazon is kind of "showing the way" or whatever but it's only possible for companies with endless amounts of money. Most warehouses are just not even close to set up for it.
If I remember correctly there's some israeli company with warehouse robots for sale too, not use if amazon is using it.
BTW, a shit ton of amazon products do not come from amazon warehouses but directly from the warehouses of their suppliers. That's often transparent to the buyer. So the idea of amazon warehouse robots is a bit overplayed
