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.

If anyone read the article they'd know that they replaced the "1,000 offshore worker" method with an in cart scanner, becoming truly automated.
EDIT
No they didn't, I didn't read the article apparently.
So now it's all self-checkout, and you either self-checkout with the cart or in a line. Far cry from the promise of "effortless" shopping.
you're right, my bad
