It’s certainly the case that low-skilled immigrants will not be employable in the coming automated economy when robots can perform simple tasks cheaply 24/7 with no coffee breaks.
But it’s also true that higher skilled persons won’t be needed in many fields as artificial intelligence (AI) develops more capability. Immigration in general should be dialed […]
The Gold Rush toward domination of the future self-driving vehicle market continues with enthusiasm. The reticence that occurred after a deadly Arizona accident in 2018 appears to have faded, at least according to a recent CBS story. In fact, the article begins by saying, “The race to create the self-driving car continues at a feverish […]
Over in the mainstream media, there’s no crime worse than a Republican president enforcing the law against the left’s favorite victims, illegal aliens. The arrests earlier this week consisted of a few hundred job thieves who were unlawfully employed in Mississippi food-processing plants, so that action would presumably open up hundreds of jobs for American […]
Serious technical difficulties regarding the safety of autonomous vehicles have been noticed by the executives who run automotive development, according to the New York Times.

Below, Google’s […]
Dishwasher seems like a perfect job for newbie unskilled immigrants: English is not required and training is probably an hour, max. It’s one of the more basic jobs.

In Washington these days, even the supposed defender of sovereignty, President Trump, now admits he thinks increased immigration is needed to fill job slots.

Washington’s lack of discussion about the coming onslaught of automation has been disturbing, but a recent flicker of awareness has been hopeful. Last week saw the rollout of a new initiative from the White House to prepare for the technological workplace of the future, emphasizing skills training and education for workers at all stages in […]
Smart machines are creating an uncertain future for those who work for a living. We already see skillful robots building cars and such with nary a worker in sight, but many job killers lurk in computers where advanced software does the calculations once accomplished by human brains.
In 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported in […]
It’s a rare thing to see Washington suits speak up about the coming automation revolution in the workplace, so the recent opinion piece in USA Today is welcome. The writers are not exactly household names in the heartland, but a statement by Penny Pritzker, former Secretary of Commerce, and John Engler, former Governor of Michigan, […]
It’s getting harder all the time to be a parent with all the negative influences in society and media today. But a new problem is how to provide guidance to a young person considering a career in a future that looks to have profoundly different work opportunities because of automation, advanced software and robots.
A […]
We’ve been hearing about self-driving cars for several years, but until now, there has always been a human in the driver’s seat in case anything went wrong. The latest news from Google reveals that its autonomous car, called the Waymo, is ramping up to the next level where no driver will be present at the […]
The advent of the Trump administration has been a fine opportunity for the art of illegal immigration sob stories, and they can’t be hard for lib scribblers to dig up. Today’s sniffler episode concerns Mexican David Cruz Hernandez who just missed being a DACA moocher by being a few months too old. He nevertheless managed […]
