Re: This has been in the works for years

The first section I agree. However-
"Ultimately the fully automated factory is doomed for the simple reason that if you don't have a place where people can work and earn money they they won't be able to spend that money buying the products that your factory or warehouse works with. This was figured out over a century ago by Henry Ford."
That doesnt work. If your business can only survive by your staff buying your product you will lose money and collapse. There is no way for that to work as the staff buy most of their products and services outside your business and for a car infrequently. When the job stops existing people go do other things. Make other products and provide other services.
