Yeah, no…“always”. Technology like humanoid robots, is never going to get cheap enough to replace low-paid manual labor.

That’s definitely not a rule. Just because so far we managed to keep manual labor dirt cheap doesn’t mean it always have to be like that. Tariffs, migration policy, social programs and so on, all affect the cost of labor. Move all the production back to developed countries while limiting immigration and the costs of labor might increase to the point where humanoid robots make sense.

I’m not saying that this will happen, only that we definitely can’t say it won’t.
