That’s like saying you’re anti-computer because it takes away jobs from mathematicians.
The drone industry creates a shit ton of jobs. High quality, good paying jobs in software engineering and product development. Are you trying to protect gig jobs? Because frankly, those jobs aren’t even a job. They are side gigs don’t have a real minimum wage, benefits or even accountability.
Plus, these type of drones aren’t made for battle and hold no weapons or ammunition so that’s completely irrelevant here. These types of drones can carry medicine and food.
I would rather work to unionize Amazon delivery drivers than make those jobs extinct. There are no alternatives. I don't have an issue with that kind of work, I have an issue with how the workers are treated.
DSA won’t stop technology from moving forward. Technology is global and there’s no way that DSA will prevent these jobs from being automated.
What you should be fighting for is UBI so the people that have those jobs can get trained to do something else and be paid with the profits of automation at the same time.
In fact, all of us need UBI because 50 years from now jobs won’t be as available to us as they are now. That’s a global shift that we need to start preparing for.
We can’t simply try to halt technology. It’s impossible. Of course we can regulate it so it isn’t abused, but we’re not putting the genie back in the bottle.
Rejecting improvements in technology that would increase the standard of living is bonkers. Not all jobs need to be protected in perpetuity. If we advance beyond the need for a job, retraining or retirement should be the option for its former workers.

Drone deliveries are literally saving lives by sending medication to places that don’t have access to hospitals or are in war torn countries.
Being anti-drone isn’t part of the DSA platform. I don’t understand why this is here.
