Clearly all these sorts of companies are only using staff until they are able to replace with robots. Not a bad thing as also, clearly the job sucks but as many others have pointed out, what happens when products you buy are made by robots and distributed by robots with no humans involved. Who will have the income to buy? I am not seeing evidence of UBI coming in a serious way despite a few small successful pilots. Someone in the government better be ready to support these workers are their days are numbered

And this is why I advocate for strapping up and getting comfortable with the idea of earning your blue laces.
