Interesting comment, passing the blame to people. A better comment would have been, "we don't want people to do these type of jobs because we're building a better utopia of the future ..."

Or "since we told everyone to go to college, most of the people with degrees don't feel like warehouse work is the best use of their skills."

"There aren’t enough young people coming into the workforce who really want to work in warehouses."

Translation: We don't pay enough.

If there was a economic shortage then they can simply increase the salary. This will result in a higher supply of workers.

The more uncomfortable the job is the more comfortable I am with automating it away.
