While im not convinced on the numbers its interesting to get the conversation started.

Problem is I think the population would need a massive reduction. Either WW or an actual pandemic

all well and good , but you can't fire them , and i bet you can't stop paying the hire if there is a production line foul-up
and can they be retrained/redeployed easily , my second job i had to swap from order-picking to loading shipping containers ( on the truck in the car-park ) , and back again , or maybe onto another task say transporting pallets to the loading docks , maybe four times in the same 8 hour shift .

it will be interesting to see how robots handle highly polluted ( mainly dirt/dust/grit ) workplaces uneven and wet/muddy surfaces , etc etc

but i am retired and i can watch somebody/something work for hours

oh by the way all those replaced workers are also CONSUMERS , most folk don't spend much when subsisting on benefits ( so where are all the customers coming from ? )
