"SNIP....

A new Brookings study finds that all but one of the ten states most heavily exposed to workplace automation cast its electoral votes for President Trump in 2016.

“Specifically, Heartland states like Indiana and Kentucky, with heavy manufacturing histories and low educational attainment, contain not only the nation’s highest employment-weighted automation risks… but also registered some of the widest Trump victory margins. By contrast, all but one of the states with the least exposure to automation, and possessing the highest levels of educational attainment, voted for Hillary Clinton, perhaps reflecting greater comfort with tech trends that have most benefited these same states.”

“The strong association of 2016 Electoral College outcomes and state automation exposure — leaving aside questions of deeper causality — very much suggests that the spread of workplace automation and associated worker anxiety about the future may have played some role in the Trump backlash and Republican appeals.”

3. "Enchanted America" goes into how people under financial anxiety

don't vote rationally. They vote on intuition more. Course the people most under financial anxiety best economic self interest is voting Dem. But they don't when you feed them anti immigration rhetoric.

4. That's not true about all people though. I have had periods of financial anxiety. I imagine you

have too.

The anti-immigration rhetoric would not have made inroads with us.

So I have to go back to my original assertion. The anti-immigration would not have made inroads with us because we aren't racist dumbasses.

5. They are being fooled.

2. That is a fact.

And the move to Robotics is only accelerating. In Auto's one only needs to look at what the South Koreans are doing with Hyundai Kia. Massive layoffs,same for the Mexican Auto Plants.

The new generation of AI is making older Robots even outdated. When a Toiler Paper manufacturing plant only needs a hand full of Workers,Game Set match.
