In this insightful clip, Vice President Vance tackles one of today’s biggest economic concerns: whether robotics and automation will replace American workers. He acknowledges why people worry but argues the evidence points the other way—new technology tends to raise wages and expand opportunity. Vance points to the ATM as a perfect example: instead of eliminating bank tellers, it ultimately led to more of them.
