How do you teach someone with ADD, ADHD and BiPolar and ever disorder that is caused by prenatal drug use along with an IQ around 80 a real job? Just look at the cashiers they have now, what jobs will they be suited for?

Next up, we will have to clean our own hotel rooms?

Robots will do it and do it better than humans ever did. Like every other job they take in the future.

There aren't going to be many jobs left.

Well, back in the day they could get some sort of basic factory job or landscaping, digging holes etc. but fortunately we now we can just exploit illegal workers with low wages to do most of that. Oh wait, did I just say exploit? Nooooooo, we don't exploit them...we help them live the dream and anyone that has a problem with it is um.....racist! Most brilliant corporate "rebranding" I've ever seen.

The sole purpose of technology, from the first club or stone wheel, is to make our lives easier.

The only problem is, in capitalism, technology takes a job from one, and gives that money to another.

Tax cuts won't save obsolete jobs.

I am sure they are working on robots who will do that.

The illegals will continue doing that for cash under the table.

Yep, you nailed it.

The TRUTH is these cashier jobs are all they can handle and the ONLY DAMN REASON they have these jobs is because big guvmint subsidizes Walmart to hire them and pays a good percentage of their salary.

So Big Guvmint messed them up by giving their mothers the cash through welfare to buy drugs that harmed them in the womb, then of course kept their fathers away and in the end you get a broken human being that can do almost nothing for themselves or society.

Thanks for this liberals. Now YOU can figure out what happens with these people.

My youngest son filled out an application at Walmart once. He was an honor student...didn't even get an interview because he didn't qualify them for any subsidies. He didn't check yes in any of the little boxes so they would have had to pay 100% of the 9 bucks an hour they would have had to pay. Can't have that!
