Societies usually known as 'civilised' don't seem to keep their civilisations going without an ample supply of very cheap labour. Slavery, indentured servitude, outsourcing to low-wage countries, (undocumented) immigration, and lately robots, provided that throughout the course of history, and those are now complemented by robotic 'intelligence' – a.k.a. AI – for non-physical labour. I wonder where it will end. If it ever will.
