Let's examine agriculture. Decades ago, there used to be ploughs or people used shovels and similar tools for agriculture. This used to take lots of labor and time as well. Many people were involved in this type of employment. Nowadays, there are tractors. Work done by thousands of people can be and is completed by single tractor. A single tractor has replaced thousands of people. Work done by thousands of people can be and is completed by a single machine or machines. Work done by thousands of people can be and is completed in a comparatively shorter time period. Fewer people and more technology is at work. Will the tractor operator exclude others from harvest? Should the tractor operator exclude others from harvest? Will those in control of machines exclude others from harvest? Should those in control of machines exclude others from harvest? Is it justified? No. Should the tractor operator exclude others not in the agriculture field from harvest? No. Are people who have been replaced with machines unemployed? Or are they skilled employees to be utilised as per need of economy? Who has the duty and responsibility to redirect their skill, knowledge, and experience? The same is true in other types of industries. Machines have and can replace thousands of workers. That doesn't mean those workers are going to be excluded from harvest. These are natural resources. These natural resources have to be utilised and exploited to their capacity while using the latest advances in science and technology. Their products have to be distributed fairly, equally, and uniformly. Their products have to be distributed fairly as per consumer affairs and public distribution system. |
