Default A good Labor quote

A significant part of the GDP is just "money making money" not people
making things. A lot more is "robots making things"

Whether we like it or not, "robots making things" is here to stay.
It's the logical extension of the industrial revolution and will have
just as many socio-economic impacts as the first. With increasing
miniaturization many of today's products could not be built without
robotic assembly.

The real question is who will design, build and service the robots.
That's where the economic power will be, and it will not be done by
the uneducated and technologically illiterate.
