factories that employed 5000 in WW2 now sometimes only employ a handful of computer programmers

so manufacturing jobs get eliminated- I've known engineers who get a kick out of eliminating jobs-- the PR side of that is the claim that each worker will own his own robot- -maybe when the sun becomes a dwarf

CWRN employed ca 30 including management-most co's at this pps dont employ anybody- and now reportedly have more workers than before
