There's always a trade off with various policies and/or demands. Eventually these types of demands will lead to jobs being automated or reduced significantly in manual labor needs. Companies have more than likely been foaming at the mouth with the idea of A.I / Robotics advancing over the years. 

User friendly made systems or self serving made systems to the point to where you push a few buttons and a machine does the manual work for you (and in most cases, does it accurately and saves you the frustration of having to go back to the store for a correction or getting home and just dealing with someone's mistake). Not really sure where we'll be at as a society, especially within the work force over the next thirty-one years but it'll be an interesting Country to live in by 2050. 

I just hope these people on the fringes (politically speaking, on the left and the right) wake up someday and realize that they've created a never ending cycle of a snake eating it's own tail. It's only going to get you so far and last so long.
