Comment by Jimmy Panetta
U.S. Representative from California
But taxing or otherwise disincentivizing automation I don't think saves jobs. [...] we need to continue to invest in automation [...]. [...] how we retrain those workers.AI Verified source (2020)

The official Congress hearing transcript for September 10, 2020 identifies the speaker as Rep. Jimmy Panetta (“Mr. Panetta”) and contains the quoted passage in his remarks: the transcript includes the clauses about not saving jobs by disincentivizing automation, continuing to invest in automation, and “how we retrain those workers.” The wording is a faithful ellipsis-based excerpt from the source URL, though the transcript has a comma after “jobs” before omitted material.
