Random but this reminds of when I was at a McDonald's in an airport. There is a long ass line of people waiting for the cash and then 3 automatic machines for placing your own order, completely empty, with big letters asking for your order. I walked past the morons and placed my order on the machine and they stood staring like I had just dont magic.


bring on the machines

I would much rather have a robot take my order instead of some of the idiots behind the counters. Atleast it will be right the first time and I dont have to deal with some of those clowns.

Sometimes I wonder what their profit is to beable to throw mistakes away like they do...

You can't make money off of that in the long run due to putting people out of work and then less and less people will be able to afford your services.

It's a moronic path that will create increased poverty.

The robot isn't taking your order, you have to manually do it yourself. Go to a Walmart and look at the self check out lines, then the check outs with people. Like 15% people who shop actually use the self check out.

Did anyone even read the ****ing quote? That was the former CEO. And he was denouncing the development, not celebrating it.

Anyways, automation is the future. It's inevitable. One day nobody will work and there will be a basic income.

I don't understand what's "bad" about that

Progress is progress. Horse salesman probably had a rough transition once cars overtook travel.

Now, I think $15 nationally is ridiculous but in states like CA in the year 2022 (which is what is proposed) that's a different story

Take that up with your government then. Not his problem.

These are part-time jobs meant for high school kids. You aren't supposed to support a family of 7 flipping burgers.

We need a new ideology with the core values of reason, honesty, science and secular progress over the older traditions of religion, superstition and dogmatic faith that have long defined humanity. We will never be free to progress and advance until the last stone from the last church is cast down onto the last priest. And every equivalent.

False. Increased efficiency reduces prices and allows MORE people to buy your products.

Let me guess... I didn't read what you wrote, right?

But this isn't an issue with capitalism.

This is an issue with the government regulating businesses (socialism) in a way that it would be financially disastrous to not remove workers and replace them with robotics.

A laissez faire system CAN work if it is not regulated. An example of this is the crash of 1929. The government began regulating the market for the first time in history, and shortly after it crashed.

I can't stress enough to plug your ears when you hear the media and liberal educators telling you that capitalism is bad. Socialism is a much worse alternative. Look at any socialist country in the world right now and tell me that they have a quality of life that you want. Not to mention, they have nearly zero manufacturing power. Remember, our manufacturing power alone is what enabled us to win two world wars.

I recommend any boyo to get into sales (home renovation sales at any aspect). People gotta live and they want to live semi-comfortable. Disclaimer: sales isn't for everyone, but if you got it.....you can be golden.


It goes from not requiring anything or a H.S. Diploma w/ experience or know somebody.



I started earning a wage at 12 yrs. old with a local lawn service. I went from that to door to door with custom cutting boards. From there to fast food...to shortly after helping my parents maintain the social media and sales on their art business. Did automotive work side job. After that did real estate and after that got into said home renovation sales. Theres always someone wanting to buy a house.......but everyone wants to keep it. (renovation). I imagine I'll do something different in the future....but ya, sales....if you have it......its it.

It was sarcasm, not satire. Learn the difference.

And like I said, if you have a problem with it then take it up with your government. A guy who runs a burger joint isn't responsible for keeping people off welfare.

Self-serve kiosks are already becoming the norm. I see them at many places now and they will only become more common.

its incredibly shortsighted and naive to view increased wages in that way

a) they provide more currency recirculation within the economy

b) happier workforce that is willing to stay longer thus increasing productivity and decreasing training costs

Oh so mcdonalds is gonna be closed until 300 and kids get out of school? Please. Low level jobs are needed to run our society. Nobody is demanding them to be payed 50/hr just enough to buy food, keep the lights on etc. Which isn't possible at 8.50 or whatever min wage is rn.
