Yep, robots can do anything low paid worker bees can do.

And they're getting more sophisticated by the day. Pretty soon they will produce robots that can do what CEO's get a bazillion dollars a year to do. And they won't have to pay them one dime. Then we'll see the end of all this robot shit.

If it isn't too late. Within 100 years we may have a droid president.
