   Thanks Danielle, Have been thinking lately about how labor is under attack through the
   conservative efforts to eliminate or cut the power of unions. You point out the
   reality that the corporate powers controlling technology are also eliminating jobs
   through the use of robots. Given the hugely profit oriented mindset of of those who can replace people with robots, it is doubtful that they will use robots to create new jobs unless we do indeed create a movement for the restructuring of our global economy.
   Plan to check out Martin Ford’s “The Rise of the Robots.”
