@hbdchick For that profession, sure, but not necessarily for people who would have worked in it otherwise. -
@hbdchick Think of it another way – if we invented a device that looked after children just as well for an even lower cost, should we worry? -
@s8mb no. but then that device wouldn't bring along (bio)cultural baggage with it, presumably.
