A factory worker can't farm.

I am acknowledging that there are people that are in the pinch, and we need to have things for people in the pinch.

Maybe, I don't know, job retraining something, but like... Job retraining is fake.
But in terms of automation in general, or I shouldn't say in general, on the macro, over time produces more jobs than it gets rid of.
And it creates better jobs in the process.
So the question is... It would be horrible if we all had to go back to being farmers.
