Thanks for the shoutout, Aaron! We work hard to cover robotics objectively. Sure, there are economic challenges, and workers need protection and retraining. Digging through the statistics, there's no correlation between automation and unemployment. Moving manufacturing overseas in pursuit of cheap goods and maximized profits was far worse. We've seen that robots augment human capabilities, allowing people to focus less on the dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks and more on their unique value-added jobs.
