Just like labor gravitated to industries. And threshers. And assembly lines. And radiology labs. And research and development. And colleges. And post graduate degrees.

Labor doesn't gravitate when it's been replaced and/or cancelled out of the economic picture for costing too much or not being an event-driven algorithm.

Blue, white, doesn't matter what collar. If the ones that run us could offshore or automate every position except their own, they would.

Libertarian/Republican economics are a time-tested fail no matter what party champions them.
