Of course robots can't steal jobs, they lack the capacity for thought and intention. Top execs are killing jobs because they would rather pay off a loan on a robot than the salary of an employee.

Tell that to phone operators, textile manufacturers, cashiers. 100% automated mcdicks, vehicle plants. It's already happened, is happening, and since the displaced are powerless and the soon-to-be-displaced are ignorant, will continue to happen.

Lick my rusty, greasy taint, amazon, and since catharsis is so cheap: damn the horse you rode in on, too.

Hay now, hold your horses. You may be champing at the bit to say the Amazon exec is full of horseshit. But get off your high horse and don't talk about the horse. The exec is a naysayer, but the horse is a neighsayer. They are not the same.

Robots don't steal jobs.

People steal jobs using robots and then tell you robots aren't stealing your job.
