Yes, in the end: ENERGY (Human, or Machine) is the key to the future. America's boom REALLY began with Tesla and cheap electricity! All climate change hoax does is raise that price to keep the poor down!

This is why you need to pick your own corn. You'll do it until it makes sense to build a machine to do it.

I actually welcome our proficient robot overlords. They improve our lives in every way. Hail our robo automation masters! I’m very happy to have them versus indolent insolent surly employees I’m loving the touch screens at McDonald’s. [Alas no aussies working counters in usa.]

I pick automation over invasion

The fruit gin....

Ehh, true. A living wage, benefits, etc are what drives automation, though.

I guess all countries without slavery and mass immigration issues, all have auto-apple-pickers then.

That's an assumption. Believe me, it they could figure out a way to pick fruit without human labor? They would've figured it out already.

Automation can't replace workers in all fields. Safeguarding grassroots production from turbulence in large markets is a basic regional stability feature.

True

Necessity for $$ is the mother of invention

What most fail to realize is that the low population of the South necessitated the common practice of the day . There were not enough people to pick the crops.

We know.

Yes, I remember a while ago watching automated picker.

Without illegal immigrants, flying car would be a thing

Actually a huge amount of fruit & veggie picking is now automated in USA. Lots of cool vids of machines on YouTube.
