Not to sound like a 'destroy the looms' Luddite, but automation does pose some severe problems. I'll laugh at their shit falling apart for now, but it's also probably only a matter of time until they do actually replace a lot of workers with AI or similar. Which is doubly problematic when some of the remaining jobs are staffed with illegals.
I wish we could go back to the good ol' days where actual Americans would do essentially 100% of the jobs in America.
Considering they've shown time and again they hate us, the push for automation will only lead to dystopic "own nothing and be happy" slavery from our betters, and not some utopia.
Americans worshipping the dollar more than anything - their religion, their country, their culture - was only ever going to end one way, and we're there now. You can't have "muh free markets muh capitalism" and also prioritize employing Americans, because someone somewhere might make more shekelbucks than you by not hiring Americans, and you gotta 'win' capitalism at all costs, right? So fire all the Americans and import slaves. Don't worry bro, the GDP is up so like, that definitely means something to someone.
We could at least give it a try, though. It would still be vastly better than our current bastardization wearing a very badly done capitalism skinsuit.
America is pretty much a socialist country trying to hide behind capitalism. Except we socialize the most retarded things and none of the beneficial ones.
The answer isn't to get rid of the automation, the answer is to delete the browns and jews. Stop making more stupid people. Start sterilizing anyone left under 100 IQ.

In the already existing tech sector, it's a large %, I personally work with 3 people who I did not know were H1B until about a year into the job. Several of those month long 'trips to india' were actually to just re-fill out a lot of paperwork to make sure they kept their job.

That sounds like abuse of temporary work permits. To repeatedly apply for them. But I'm not an expert.
What they have to be is interchangeable. Because they may come in and out of a job based on funding. The immigration lottery means you don't get necessarily the particular people you want. If you had any preference. But that's how we get "Software Engineer III" job that the executives can claim to be unable to fill with native. Of course "an" Indian is right there to slot into the job.
It's interesting how so many engineers/programmers initially thought they were so good that immigration wouldn't threaten them. From a libertarian perspective. But the same thing happened as with other (let's he honest semi-)skilled labor. It drove the wages down and created a class of work product of substandard quality that is accepted.
I'm not either, partially because I don't want another thing i'm looking at to consume my little faith left in humanity. We already got the troonening and the absolute failure of all medical institutions (which is also related to imported 'professionals' but I digress).
The ones I work with are fine enough, but the system is still clearly being used inappropriately, and shaped by those above to save a buck.

Stop pussy footing around and just join the Butlerian Jihad already.

There are no beneficial ones. All socialism is cancer.

when you create a machine to do the work of a man, you take something away from the man
