The whole rotten ideology right from the 1950s on is based on the idea that the world is over populated and resources were finite and it's completely wrong. It's a repeat of the 1700s nonsense that industrialisation will destroy jobs.

People don't sit around doing nothing, they create, invent, make, build, improve.

Always have done and always will.

Resources have increased with an expanding population.

America companies are using more robots, and employment is very high, and low-end wages have been rising faster than high-end wages!

South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Germany, and Sweden all use more robots than we do.
And guess what? More of their workers are employed in manufacturing than in the U.S.
This is not a coincidence.
