Labor Day is upon us, and haven’t you suffered enough for your labors? Seriously, things are tough enough right now with the state of the world and everything. And so my one-word reply to my own headline is: robots. Not the threatening humanoid ones that’ll win a marathon at freaky-deaky speed and then explode upon contact with a wall, nor the cutesy ones from Star Warsthat’ll use their wicked vocabulary to make you feel dumb as shit. I’m talking robot vacuums, automatic pet feeders, and coffee makers. There’s plenty on sale for Labor Day.
