This fits in very well with my Robot Economists project. I finished nine jumping-jack puppet with talking mouths using photos of Paul Samuelson, Paul Krugman, Richard Layard, Jonathan Portes, Lawrence Katz and David Autor, as well as three columnists from the Economist magazine, Matthew Bishop, Ryan Avent and Clive Crook. The robots' real life subjects have all recited the lump-of-labor fallacy claim as if they were robots, so why shouldn't they simply be replaced by actual robots
To paraphrase Arthur, "And one more job lost, one less economics grad hired." But not to worry, There is not a fixed amount of work to be done.
