Key point is the elimination of 'basic' jobs (manufacturing, low-level service, etc.)

If you're a business owner, and you can buy a machine that can do the job reliably for cheaper, it's obvious what you have to do if you want to stay in business. That's capitalism. Compete or fail.

We're already well on our way. Manufacturing has already been decimated, and the service industry is heading in the same direction - ATMs, check-in terminals at the airport, order menus at fast food restaurants, self-checkouts at the grocery store, etc. Next steps are driverless uber and drone delivery services.

That's why I laugh when I hear Trump pushing for NAFTA revisions to bring back the 'blue-collar jobs to middle America'. Those jobs are disappearing for a reason - not just because they can be done cheaper overseas, but because they're able to be done by machines right here.

Fill yer boots with all those jobs that are obsolete - it's simply sinking investments into a money pit of propping up antiquated industries. But then Trump definitely knows all about bad investing.
