Rather than doom and gloom our culture with easy, thoughtless Karenized rants professing to have some unique insight about only 1 angle of this economic change, learn to perform maintenance on robots. Learn to drive delivery trucks. Learn to optimize supply chains with robots. Learn to write the programs that help people optimize supply chains.
Then go outside the factory. Fully autonomized 18 wheelers are not very close to reality yet. Neither are drones that can lift cargo comparable to our largest human driven vehicles.
There will be no final nail in the coffin for brick and mortar stores. Large populations of people still like to go shopping. These slow walking and scooter driving fatties need to gobble their obesity hormones. Learn to scoop ice cream.

How many local repairman are servicing your robots?
My entire point is that while you are right to wonder about robots and stuff, it's creating entirely new companies and plants outside of just the 'Amazon' world.
I personally like the new innovation and the jobs it's creating by proxy

Most of these people are actual liberals, but if you tell them that they will be offended and probably call you a liberal as if it's an insult.

Liberals are now in bed with their mortal enemy, corporations, because these corporations are supporting "diversity and equality."
Most people that call themselves liberal are totalitarian progressives that want to ban free speech, scrub dissenting opinions from social media, ban guns, and cancel religion. But if you tell them that they'll call you a racist and try to cancel you.

You're missing my point. Your state is bottom of the barrel and doesn't want to do anything to attract more business. Be happy with what you get.

No one is fixing those robots. That’s like fixing a flat screen TV. Do you see a lot of TV repairmen around?
bullshite. Flatscreen TVs are more reliable because the only moving parts are internal fans. Robots are entirely moving parts. They absolutely require preventative maintenance.
Another benefit of robotics, is they make it more likely for manufacturing to come back to the US. Robotics are the cure for cheap Chinese labor and the extensive supply chains needed to support cheap Chinese labor. Robotics are probably a bigger threat to Chinese labor and their economy than ours because China created a worldwide dependency on their labor.

And they are still hiring 2000+ in Baton Rouge not counting truck drivers and delivery drivers.
3,000 or more in Baton Rouge. At least 1,000 in Shreveport.
And it’s unskilled labor. Exactly what Louisiana needs.

A large percentage of those jobs will be replaced by better paying higher skilled jobs. People need to realize that they need to constantly educate and better themeselves if they want to be successful. Complaining about it on the internet isn't going to bring it back.

I think Amazon is peaking. Most things take 3-5 days to arrive now. That’s too long for a right now society.

I’m not worried about losing my job to Amazon I’m in the propane business and I met my half brother who’s Japanese and he told me robots could run off propane it’s basically the future

Now that’s actually a good point. Hopefully strategic placement can revitalize some areas.
That's what most people I talk to are happy about. A new business coming in that has a chance to revitalize a completely decrepit area.

Just for tearing down a dilapidated mall, I'll give them an A+

It's so much more than simply hiring a bunch of warehouse workers at Amazon and using the "the chinese" argument
