Technology is why we have the prosperity we have.

There are plenty of countries without automation. And many allow anybody to immigrate to them. But don't expect air conditioning You'll have to hire a person to wave you with a fan.

And don't expect those job-killing tubes to bring you your water. Hire a water carrier like everybody else.

And in the truly pure countries, be prepared to drag your stuff with you without labor saving wheeled contraptions like the wheelbarrow.

I've downvoted you because you're using extremely hyperbolic arguments that I don't feel add to the discussion.
I didn't say anything that isn't true. Technologies save us tremendous amount of effort, even ones that we take for granted. It's not hyperbolic to point that out. I'm not exaggerating anything.

But feel free to point out where I am exaggerating.
