Pour out a piss bottle for the human workers who will be fired because of this, and prepare for those empty piss bottles to be filled with oil as the robots leak into them after being worked through their breaks.

You act as if humans won't be repurpose as fluffers for the robots.

Slavery. That's the point. You are simply fuel for the exploitation machine. Homelessness is criminalized, so you'll be put into a for profit prison when you can't find a job and forced into manual labor.

Meanwhile, billionaires escape to their tropical island bunkers and ride out the climate collapse in the ultimate "fuck you, got mine'."

I've taken the tour. The whole warehouse saces money by having all the lights off. The bots literally comes out of the darkness to deliver products to where the people grab each product from several of those boxes to then deliver the products to the trucks. The packagers just grab from the specific bot shelves and put into cardboard boxes of the right size. That's all they do for an eternity.
