Automation is going to be much more efficient, and therefore much more profitable, than human employees. Repair and maintenance will be negligible.

Respectfully, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I am an accountant for a company that has both types of manufacturing. The robot-heavy factories are so much more of a pain in the ass than the people-heavy ones.
Per plant, on average I spend more fixing and maintaining robots than I do on labor at the other plants.
People are stupid but easy to train. Computers are smart but hard to train.
IDK why y’all think the computers will be easier to tame but hey, feel free to compete with everyone else with one arm tied behind your back.
