21st Century Fox was recently acquired by The Walt Disney Company. Now only 5 companies control 95% of US media. Where does it end?

Perhaps, but I think human labor is a LONG way from ceasing to be useful entirely.

The idea of them needing us for labor, gives me warm fuzzies; really. I just don't know how long that need will exist considering automation. There's now automated boats, planes, trains, and heavy machinery; heck even automated brick layers.

Always optimistic, I like that, and need that!

here's now automated boats, planes, trains, and heavy machinery; heck even automated brick layers.

People still have to run, fix, and build those machines. That's unlikely to change for at least another 100 years.

A human slave is always better than a robot, if you just want something that understands you and does what you say. I doubt that will change for at least a few more hundred years, at the minimum.

So we've got that going for us
