Most 9-5 workers (statistically) do not get to enjoy extra hours clawed back from labor. It's hard enough filling an 8 hour office day as it is.

And now you want to automate what little most workers do?

We all seemed fine with machines replacing telephone operators and spreadsheets replacing computers (the people).

I'm fine with machines replacing labor... If we completely and totally remove capitalism from the equation.

I'm clearly not being pro 9-5 here. But in a 9-5 world, we need jobs in order to eat.
