You don't think humans install wind turbines or build solar farms? How do you imagine they come into existence?

They're multitasking robots able to do a range of complex tasks, sure they'll stock shelves oneday but the most cost effective and therefore first uses will be in hostile environments where it's very expensive to have humans work. Undersea welding for example is a brutal job which requires all sorts of safety and habitability stuff that makes it hugely expensive even before the high wages those people earn - cutting this from the cost of infrastructure projects will make it much tcheaper for offshore wind projects. Especially as working conditions and human considerations make it impossible for continuous work where as robots can just work until its done.

My dad was the first of our male line to live over 35 in five generations, he was also the first never to work down a mine - people just used to accept poor people dying as the cost of living comfortably lives, the work needed to be done so someone had to do it... just as how I can't imagine being in the situation of my grandfather so too will humanity move beyond the destruction of our lives that forced drudgery brings upon us.

Rich people don't choose to stand stacking shelves all day, there's a reason for that. Do not fight to keep such awful things, fight to make a world where we can live well without needing them
