Actually what it may boil down to is swiping your card on entry for identification purposes and the RFI chip on each product is ID ed on you as you leave and deducted from your account.
If you over drAft your account the ID swipe will not let you enter the store.
Store shelves would be robotically maintained and the shelves have sensors keeping track of stock.
Facial identification would insure the card user and carrier are one in the same.
I have already been in restaurants that use a computer at the table ordering and payment are all done on.
A cook's assistant delivers the order.
The safest job is in the repair industry but your skills better be broad more so than a mere engineer.

In a world where .1% of people have monopolized 90% of the world's wealth... I don't give a **** about your red-scare.

Keep this **** up and we'll re-live the French Revolution.

Robotics will be replacing 40% of the workforce n the next 20 years-not because they are just cheaper, but because they wont make as many mistakes, and will be more reliable.

These are the main reason why low-wage workers are not worth more. Low-wage workers call out sick more often than those with more responsibility.

You Phrygian-capped Jacobin hooligans can try to institute a ten day week.

Paris still hasn't recovered; its socialist unemployed still haunt the streets en masse in as if it were Brixton, overstay U.S. student visas to try to work under the table.

And yet the poverty rate is lower in France than the U.S. And the standard of living for MOST people is higher. The U.S. is a better place to live ONLY for the billionaires.

Myth 6: Europe has a lower standard of living than the United*States. | Economic Opportunity Institute


You'd do well to step outside the rightwingosphere once in a while. There's a whole world out there that refuses to conform to that spoon-fed world view.

If true, what are you thoughts about a Robot or Machine taking your order?
More proof of why when Unions, politicians and/or public force increase in wages in order to maintain a decent profit margin and stay in business, those employers will find a way to cut costs.

The $15.00/hour mess will just eliminate more youngsters from that first job. Really stupid and counter productive.

Unions and minimum wage brought the American worker out of the dark ages. They can work and they have worked. Unfortunately our culture has made shortsighted greed into a virtue, and now we're in a race to the bottom. When our standard of living is on par with Bangladesh, then we can talk about 'free market wages'.

And that's where we're headed unless and until American workers find the balls to stand up for themselves like our grandfathers did.

Because of their social charters for enforcement, only Big Governments are capable of monopolizing wealth--the more per capita larger the more complete, e.g., DPRK, USSR. And when you keep handing governments more of it, they become that much more cronyist and corrupt.

France's development is stunted because of socialism. It's not inventive, not innovative, it's capable of manufacturing almost nothing. It exports desperation.

Meanwhile, you seem only concerned with what the Joneses have, the bigger car in the driveway. Why is that?

I can see why Republicans are consistently against education.

France has a lower poverty rate than the U.S. They have universal healthcare which costs less and works better than our system where people are bankrupted by illness and die due to lack of money. Check out Airbus and Dassault- their aircraft industry rivals our own.

But hey, keep defending the vulture capitalists. They might let you keep a menial job if you don't get sick and inconvenience them.
