Except that a couple of roughnecks will tire after the first dozen of cracked heads, a humanoid drone can keep busting heads 24 hours with no breaks.

Robots already did take my job but it turns out that my bosses are all too lazy/stupid to run the robots so now I just do the same work in like two hours and just sit around the rest of the day

Sometimes the robots break down and they pay me extra to fix them

How can you be so sure? And failing that, the people who lose their jobs to automation are likely your clients, or your client's clients, or your client's client's clients. If those on the bottom have no money, those in the middle have less, and so have less demand for frivolities. What makes you so sure your skills will pay the bills when there's no demand for them?

Great point. I work in the media and our paychecks come from ad sales. It's a creative job and hard to automate (for now), but what happens when businesses close or are unwilling to spend money on advertising?

I'm going to put on war paint and go skin the Koch brothers. That's what happens.

There's a theory that the reason we don't revolt right now (because income inequality really is ridiculous right now) is because there's not much difference between the quality of the life of a rich and poor person. A $400 refrigerator and $11,000 refrigerator will both keep your milk cold. Once people can't afford to eat, or get any kind of health care whatsoever, I see a growing need for your propaganda services.
What kind of poor person can afford a $400 fridge? $90 for a secondhand full-sized fridge.

On a related note I guess drug dealer is a job that won't get automated. Sadly all the ED-209s walking the streets will make it a much more dangerous career.

In the future you won't even have $90. You'll hide your dog meat in the snow outside the camp bunkhouse to keep it from spoiling. You'll die from typhus before you can eat it and the robot guards will find it during spring thaw.

Yes, all of it. The warehouse, the drugs, the drones. Ordering online will give you leukemia and a craving for cock on the spot. Like introducing crack to black neighbourhoods, it's a way to keep the riffraff in line :tinfoil:
