Yang: "We're seeing 10 years' worth of change in 10 weeks,"

"We're seeing 10 years' worth of change in 10 weeks," the former Democratic presidential candidate said.

Companies, worried about coronavirus health risks, are accelerating their plans to use robots for some jobs long done by humans. It's just one of the ways coronavirus is changing the face of America's workforce and the debate over how to respond, including controversial proposals Yang has long championed.

Imagine you are a business owner of say Tyson Foods selling chicken and your processing plants are all being shut down because your employees are all getting coronavirus and sometimes dying from it. What do you do?

You can buy robots relatively inexpensively that will do the same things 24 hours a day and won't ever get coronavirus and won't ever need to be paid or go to the doctor and can't have a baby or need to have health insurance and they will work non-stop 24 hours a day for 2 to 3 years before they wear out.

What are you "the owner" of a Tyson Foods processing plant going to do to stay in business?

You are going to buy robots and replace ALL the line workers on your production line because you won't need them ever again now.

So, the Tesla motorcar model of no workers and only engineers to maintain and design new robots is what you are left with.

This is the 10 years in 10 weeks change happening now all across America so companies can find a way to survive these times in desperation. So, robotics manufacturers are going to be making a mint. And the workers that don't die of coronavirus are going to be out of luck returning to their old jobs during these times.
