Won't take up land for parking on, won't burn gasoline getting to/from work, won't turn the break room fridge into a compost bin. Think of the ecological good!

Using robots/automation for long and monotonous work is always a wonderful idea even from a humanity POV given the conditions humans have to work in peak hours. What human would agree to work under such conditions for so long unless forced due to some financial weakness on their part.

True. Although "have to work in" is artificial in this case since the need is set by management. Factory automation takes out a fair amount of danger to humans in other cases. This has been an idea since ancient times.

I'm sort of torn when sh\+ jobs get automated away, as the premise of automation being beneficial overall is that increased economic activity creates not-worse opportunities elsewhere for the displaced. The financially weak are a cornerstone of our economy, I don't see anything better coming for these folks soon.

Not a bad idea if followed by much increased taxation to be able to pay people.
