A quick look at Indeed shows something like 400 jobs in robotics.

It’s insane.

I work for a company that handles the Amazon freight from their palleting facility to the USPS offices in the southeast region. In The Before Times, when I came in at 11:00 PM the Amazonians (yes they call the workers that) would be done for the night and there were maybe a dozen people in the building. Now the conveyer runs 24-7 and there are hundreds of people in there. 6 feet is impossible. Pallets everywhere. It’s fucking Xmas level chaos every night.
