Safety standards for robot systems in the US are much more stringent than places like China. But with that being said, it's always up to the integrator to make sure the safety systems are built and function according to those standards.

Robots for menial tasks is pretty much inevitable.

honestly, i'd rather see them exploit robots than my fellow man, for substandard wages.

Problem is efficiency and output will increase but wages and social benefits will not. Until we have a total culture revolution this will continue until robots perform all the work and most humans live in poverty. Wage slaves doing tasks robots just don't do. Hell, in parts of the world already humans are valued less than robots. More expendable.

If we want to get to a society without any work at all, we have to go through this phase.

And with the current supply chain issues, robots (unlike immigrants or local humans) don’t compete for food or housing.
