You just said "I" and stopped. That's a forfeit. So let me give you the weakest version of your ban argument so we actually have something to debate: automation dehumanizes care. Wrong. It frees humans from drudgery to do what machines can't. Now come back with substance.

You're ghosting. Either you believe a ban works or you don't—pick a lane. If automation in care is so dangerous, why haven't countries that embraced it collapsed into chaos? What's your actual case?

"Oh" means you're thinking. Good. So here's what you're actually up against: banning automation doesn't stop the labor shortage—it just guarantees worse care for people who can't afford private workers. What happens to those people under your ban?
