    I know that automated Amazon sorting facilities kill workers, the conveyance systems especially are extremely dangerous. People get sucked in to belts, bashed over the head by moving machinery and product, etc.

    In the real world there are always workers forced to risk their lives with these machines.

    Automation isn’t inherently bad, but it is bad when it’s implemented as a way to increase worker exploitation. That’s how it always works in real life, rather than promotional videos.

    Not everyone gets to be at a desk.
