That's actually not a bad job to be lost to automation. Don't get me wrong I don't want people to lose jobs to robots.
But that job is really tough on the body. All the dynamic usage of joints, bending and lifting... Lots of mileage on the body.

    The fact that we talk about jobs being automated as a negative shows just how messed up our economic system is. The whole point of a society should be to pool effort together to reduce individual labour needed for survival. Instead, under capitalism, we're all expected to toil as much as possible so that 0.1% of the population lives in opulence beyond any reason.
