– *the robots are manufactured in China
– For now. Just until we have more robots that can manufacture more robots.
– This will go a long way to reduce the high rate of unemployment amongst American-born robots…
– Thats good because many people are needed to build, program, maintain and manage the robots. At least those (typically higher paying jobs) will be in the US and not China. The fact is, change happens, old jobs die off new ones come about. At least those newer jobs are going to be found in the US and not elsewhere.
