#1 Can Baxter make himself?

No?!

OK don't worry. This does seem to me akin to worrying that no-one will do any kind of work.

We should be far more worried about the damage to comparative advantage caused by government taxation on incomes (or deferred AKA via sales).

#2 100 years ago more than 80% of the country were farmers. Today it's less than 2% -- and we have more food.

Change is scary, but we all benefit from technological progress.

#3 Baxter has a lot of moving parts that will inevitably require the attention of a mechanic. He will need hardware and software upgrades from time to time. Somewhere along the line he's gonna need a human and that human's salary is gonna have to be considerable if Baxter is so important.
