\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Larry in St. Louis. You\u2019re next as we head back to the phones and Open Line Friday. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Lar\u2019? Are you there?<\/p>\n

CALLER: From what you\u2019re talking about, I\u2019ve got three targets painted on me. I\u2019m a conservative, I just started a small business, and the small business is oriented around defending against what the Islamic jihadists want to do, EMP attack. (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, my gosh. How do you get up every day?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, I figure that the IRS is gonna have me right in the crosshairs. (laughing) But what I wanted to talk about is the robot economy. We\u2019re only a couple of years away from the introduction of human-shaped robots that can use human tools. Eventually they\u2019ll be self-repairing and self-replicating and they\u2019ll be able to work tirelessly 24\/7.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What are they gonna build?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, basically they\u2019re going to be (sigh) taking over the low-level jobs, the ones that the so-called illegal immigrants are doing now, and that\u2019s gonna have a profound effect on the economy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait. Wait. Hold it a minute. Hold it. I don\u2019t want to insult you, but you\u2019ve got to tell me what jobs the robots are gonna do. I don\u2019t want…<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, these are human shaped, so they can do any job that a human being can do. They have two arms and two legs, and they\u2019re what they call “general purpose robots.” They\u2019ll be able to be trained to do, like, fieldwork for instance. You know, a lot of illegal immigrants work in agriculture, and, you know, they\u2019ll bring in crops and so forth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Um, really?<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019ll be able to do that. They\u2019ll be able to do the low-level, you know, repetitive manufacturing-type jobs and so forth. What\u2019ll happen is that, you know, all these jobs that the illegals are presently doing will go away. Because, in the long run, even though the initial outlay is more expensive, the robot doesn\u2019t require health insurance, it doesn\u2019t require benefits, and doesn\u2019t require salary. It works 24\/7, and once they become self-repairing, they don\u2019t require any maintenance, either.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, so what I\u2019m hearing here is robots can pick crops, robots can offer medical assistance, they can do nurse work, they can be butlers. Hmm. (chuckling) Now, that\u2019s… Folks, this is interesting. (laughing)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
