Hi,
Get out of your moss covered ivory tower and tour a modern automotive assembly plant. The future is 1980s. Most production processes that are not automated are either being done by labor still too cheap to replace or are being done by one man suppling the guidance to a machine replacing hundreds of manual laborers. Go to a major shipping port. Look at how cargo is handled, one crane operator doing the job of dozens of stevedores.
