| You need to be more specific about "automation". My kids still need a lot of manual human labor to be educated ( services ). You still need a lot of manual labor to create roads, bridges and apartments. People were talking about flying cars 50 years ago, all those flying car investors must be billionares ? On the ground things haven't progressed much, regardless of how much you would like to believe it. Cape Town literally ran out of water ! If you mean automation for producing cheap plastic toys for Westerns ? If I was African why should I care about being exploited for white skinned consumers ? China pulled a fast one, with selling cheap plastic goods to move up the value chain, steal technology and create Huawei. African countries should do the same. If the US/EU imposes tariffs due to to currency devaluation. Africans should band together and only sell their natural resources in a new currency. Lets see how long the EU/US lasts when the most resource rich continent pulls a King Faisal. |
