>Whether it's true today, or in the near future, we can all agree: those jobs are better done by robots.
It's already been done, except replace the "robot" meme with "industrial engineering" reality. instead of iRobot it's the machine that welds cars or makes pringles. It was done 30+ years ago. This world is distinct from the robot replacement headline clickbait we've been reading our whole lives.
>Even Walmart is looking at replacing all their cashiers with robots.
The technology for this has existed for 20+ years but it's always being "explored", that should tell you something. That's a distraction though. We're talking about chip fab, then you started talking about assembly line workers (which has zero meaning - can you think of a single assembly function that hasn't been automated 20 years ago?). Factory work today is skilled work, industrial engineering hasn't stood still.
>I'm offering a part of my pay so that the folks doing the mundane, back-breaking work inefficiently, today, could be paid to stay home and look after their families or pursue self-actualization.
you're getting ripped off. Modern factory jobs are pretty good. Self Actualization is a meme.
