An integrating video on how robots are literally taking "all" of the work that humans do. More now than ever we need to rethink our concepts of work, wealth and benchmarks to obtain food, shelter and housing. Robots are literally taking over everything we do due to no fault of people.

They're coming, and they're going to "take r jerbs!"
A perfect example of this in North Carolina where those jobs returned from China:
"Take Parkdale: The mill here produces 2.5 million pounds of yarn a week with about 140 workers. In 1980, that production level would have required more than 2,000 people...
...In 1991, American-made apparel accounted for 56.2 percent of all the clothing bought domestically, according to the American Apparel and Footwear Association. By 2012, it accounted for 2.5 percent. Over all, the American manufacturing sector lost 32 percent of its jobs, 5.8 million of them, between 1990 and 2012, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The textile and apparel subsectors were hit even harder, losing 76.5 percent of their jobs, or 1.2 million."
We just hope they're nice... And their fusion reactors don't run on old people's medicine...And for the love of God, I hope they don't pitch 1000 movie ideas that star Adam Sandler...
And one of my favorite songs from Battlestar Gallactica, called "The Shape of Things to Come".
