I think i need to pay a lot of attention to the CEO of a company that profits from prison labour.
And as we saw with your limited knowledge of how often these machines actually need maintenance, your whole point is out the window. If a machine actually did what you say, and that they cost tens of thousands of dollars to do what a person can, but need to be repaired/worked on by a $30 an hour professional every 3 days, there wouldn't be a company out there that would use them.
Never said there won't be anymore jobs. I even said there would be plenty of jobs. But there will not be enough. What are these people to do? The current welfare system won't be able to support the influx of unemployed people.
You keep finding ways of dodging the questions.

It is mathematically impossible for those let go in the situation to find equivalent jobs or even jobs period in the current climate and the below living wages is further strangling the job market making it that much harder.
Sorry, but the number of workers currently vastly outnumber of the number of jobs currently open.
And as I stated before, in related news, Foxconn has replaced roughly 60,000 workers with automation and they were making less than $3 an hour.
You are giving advice that does not match the reality of the situation.
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add

to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
Don't think it really matters if they get 15$/hr at this point. They will soon all be replaced by automation whether they are making 7.25 or 15/hr$. It is just too bad that our government is not taking any steps to deal with the workers of jobs that will soon be obsolete (and it will be a lot of jobs lost to automation). Just trudging blindly ahead without any sort of plan really isn't a good strategy.

Mathematically impossible to do large scale.
That is a small scale solution to large scale problem that does not scale up.
That is like trying to shove 100 pounds of shit into a 5 pound bag, no matter how much you try, that much shit will never fit in something that small.

You're not hiring "one mechanic" to replace three workers. You'd be hiring a couple of mechanics to (essentially) replace hundreds of workers in a given area. Again, you wouldn't have a "tech guy" in every store; they'd have centralized departments that cover whole areas, probably whole counties. Maybe even multiple counties depending on how big your state is.
And that's assuming they actually hire new tech people. They could just as easily use the same tech people they have now and just train them on how to fix/maintain the new hardware.
Kill your unskilled labor force kill your economy.
That's not really true. Both republican's and democrats have suggestions to fix the issue, including both Hillary and Trump. Obama has suggested 2 year colleges be paid for by the state or federal government. Bernie I believe suggested 4 years and Hillary jumps around what education should be paid for, but the general idea is similar between democrats. Republicans, such as Trump, Cruz and similar with others, have instead focused on lowering taxes on business and making places like China more susceptible to US manufacturing.
The issue isn't that they don't have plans, but that their solutions are fundamentally counter to each other. This creates a bottle neck, where there is little common ground to be had. Then you add the rhetoric of each and even the discussion of pros and cons is hard to achieve. As one side screams communist, while the other screams corporations...

Ummmm... Math?
For a full-time 40-hour week (assume no breaks/unpaid days) at 52 weeks per year comes out to $31,200 a year.
This is, of course, assuming full time and not part-time. Insurance probably adds that up a bit more, but considering the employee pays for half or more...
