[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Amazon currently employs 1.2m workers. Would you rather have them put 500k out of work by installing robots, or put 1.2m out of work by going out of business when someone else who is better at automation competes with them and is able to deliver the same products less expensively? As noted above, this concern goes back to the start of the industrial revolution and, yet, there has been no mass unemployment. Jobs have changed and will continue to change.[/quote] If Bezos can keep the Washington Post running with all of his billions, he is certainly not going to have Amazon go out of business--especially since the majority of the revenue comes from AWS and not retail. So, needing to fire 500,000 people is not necessary and just means more billions for Bezos. [/quote]
