Why the focus on low cost and immigrants? There's millions of people in your country (and I don't even know where you live) that live below the poverty line or are unemployed.
Open up jobs, pay a decent wage, and stop this line of thought about exploiting people as much as possible for as little money as possible.
Why are you equating low cost with exploitation? Why focus on the immigrants when my post _clearly_ mentioned local or immigrants? It is also very disingenuous for you to remark about my location. Clearly, Hacker News is US/Silicon Valley centric. My comment was pointing out that Silicon Valley engineers need to get their heads out of their asses and look at the unemployment not only in the US but rest of the world.
Caregiving is a great job for those who don't have a job. More importantly, SV seems to be forgetting the human component of care giving. A robot _cannot_ possibly take the place of an actual human. It's just not the same.
