The lower class is now FUCKED thats what.

I look forward to the collapse of fast food in the US after all staff are replaced by robots that are then ripped apart by their "customers."

>>8656605
They said that during the Industrial Revolution too, faggot

>>8656709
and they were right?

>>8656605
you will be quickly fucked soon after

>>8656714
no, the lower class is a lot better off now then they were 200 years ago.

>>8656590
good, maybe muh 15/h can get a real job (yes) and double cheeseburgers will go back to being a dollar (no)

>>8656745
>no, the lower class is a lot better off now then they were 200 years ago.
except the industrial revolution didn't fuck over the working class, it fucked over the craftmen, you know, those people that don't exist anymore?
And there's a lot more supply than demand now, it was the opposite before.
this will push that to an even more extreme and there'll just be less jobs period, you can't just make more and more markets, that's not how it works. This shit won't push people to get "real jobs" it'll just force governments into making universal basic income

>>8656754
>it fucked over the craftmen, you know, those people that don't exist anymore?
Yes, they were replaced by things like union electricians and union steamfitters which make a lot more money.

>And there's a lot more supply than demand now, it was the opposite before.
Do you think these robots will build themselves?

>This shit won't push people to get "real jobs" it'll just force governments into making universal basic income
Kek we're very far from that and that's not an issue. If the machines did all the work for us we'd live a life of luxury without working. Stop basing your thoughts off Judge Dredd.

>tfw the post-menial-employment society has been known and warned about for decades now
>We're still going to hit it with literally no preparation, resulting in mass poverty and crippling economic gridlock

Ha ha, it's still decades away, r-right?

>>8656761
over half of all jobs currently performed by human beings could already be performed by existing technology. what you should be asking yourself is when the first purge night is going to be scheduled for

What happens when there are no more shitskins and Chinamen to blame your unemployment on?

>>8656775

>>8656778
Do you have a source to back that? Seems highly unlikely.

>>8656758
>>And there's a lot more supply than demand now, it was the opposite before.
>Do you think these robots will build themselves?
Well yes, robots do almost all our manufacturing. Besides, that just mean that 1 guy will maintain robots and manufacturing for every 1000 mcdonalds workers, idiot, that's why it's an attractive business model in the first place.
>Kek we're very far from that and that's not an issue
no, why do you think creating jobs is the biggest selling point any politician can have? we are already past the point where we need more workers, we need more work. whenever you tackle such a big market, people will not find new work, they'll just become jobless in droves.
And don't get me wrong, I don't even think this is bad, almost everything will inevitably become automatized, but you'd have to be completely naive to think it won't be a massively bumpy right that ultimately leads us to having to find another solution to having people not go dirt poor

>>8656768
>what you should be asking yourself is when the first purge night is going to be schedule for

I'm going to guess that it's about a month after unskilled and semi-skilled labor no longer exist.

And I think you might be unpleasantly surprised about who wins that 'purge'.

>>8656792
>Well yes, robots do almost all our manufacturing.
Neet detected. Robots assist in plants. They do heavy lifting and simple tasks. They are supervised by humans and humans do the more complex assemblies. They also require programming and maintenance by humans. Stop watching movies.

> Besides, that just mean that 1 guy will maintain robots and manufacturing for every 1000 mcdonalds workers, idiot, that's why it's an attractive business model in the first place.
Incorrect. It's attractive to replace ineffective and overpaid burger flippers. There will be overhead costs but in the long run these job eliminations will save them money.

>no, why do you think creating jobs is the biggest selling point any politician can have? we are already past the point where we need more workers,
Incorrect. We have lower unemployment now then we had 10 years ago. The jobs sell-point is because we were hit with a recession, you underage ban. Not some magical automation advancement. You sound like an unemployed neet projecting your unemployable onto robots. Do you have a job? What is your line of work?

>but you'd have to be completely naive to think it won't be a massively bumpy right that ultimately leads us to having to find another solution to having people not go dirt poor
You're the naive one. You don't understand that new jobs will replace the old. Even for these burger flippers, someone will have to program and oversee their assembly.

>>8656799
>And I think you might be unpleasantly surprised about who wins that 'purge'.

I don't know how it is in other countries, but this is only true in the US because the government only counts people who are actively seeking a job as "unemployed." Also, what job do yo see Jaquandre getting hired for when he can't flip burgers or pretend to stock shelves at Walmart? Do you honestly think he'll suddenly learn to read good, pass algebra and become an engineer?

So, what will you 'Mericans do when 2035 hits? National default?

That would cause a depression 100x worse than 1929.

>>8656857

Social Security is not an entitlement. Citizens paid into the fund, which was then raped by Clinton. And Bush43.

>>8656854
>but this is only true in the US because the government only counts people who are actively seeking a job as "unemployed."
Nice non-facts to back your assertion up. I suppose all those people just gave up after 10 years right? Get real idiot.

>Also, what job do yo see Jaquandre getting hired for when he can't flip burgers or pretend to stock shelves at Walmart
>now I will resort to racism to argue my points!
Good talking to you idiot.

>>8656857
money is overrated and worthless any way. We can make a better system but no one cares to implement it

>>8656857

The only way out of Obama's debt is massive money printing & hyperinflation.

Make your debt worthless. It's the only way out.

This is great news. Fast food employees are some of the worst people on the planet.

>>8656847

A negative number, considering the number of factory workers increased exponentially

>>8656807
no one is denying there will be jobs available for highly skilled professionals that willaintain and over see these automatons... but YOU'RE not getting here is that who'd do you think will qualify for those jobs....?
People that got some shitty American public education and barely walked away with a diploma or someone that came from an affluent and highly educated background?
Guess which if those outnumber s the other.
Now imagine a scenario where the other group is flat broke because they can't get jobs because their too stupid and too unskilled.
Total anarchy

>>8656771
Probably break into stores and destroy every robot they see

>>8656912
>highly skilled
yeah no. programming isn't highly skilled. overseeing a robot just in case it fucks up isn't highly skilled. tightening a bolt isn't highly skilled. kek you're such a fucking NEET.

get an actual job and see how many dumb asses work alongside you every day

>>8656754
>you can't just make more and more markets

That's not how any of this works, actually. And this is some very basic stuff, too.

trump has already reduced the debt by 12 billion. I know that's peanuts compared to the damage obama did but he's just getting started.

Memes aside, he's going to be a really good president

>>8657021
Not an argument

>>8657028
And? How many burger flipping jobs are there? Not economy dependent kek.

>>8657057
burger flipping jobs aren't the only ones affected by automation, mate

>>8657064
it's what we're talking about itt m8. what other jobs are currently being taken over by muh robot boogeyman?

>>8657069
Most that used to rely on people for sorting documents and writing papers can be done perfectly by bots

>>8657089
So nothing significant.

>>8657057
Literally millions

amirite?

>>8657338
I didn't demonize unions.

>>8656864
Alluding to the fact that inner city schools don't successfully prepare their students to get decent jobs is racist now, apparently. I doubt you've ever set foot in one, let alone had to work with kids who can't do their homework because state standards require them to use a computer they don't have at home and can't access at the library because it's too dangerous to go out after dark. Get back to me when you've helped kids board the bus while the cops are zipping up body bags across the street.
No one cares about Richmond because the parts that white tourists visit are safe, but the poor neighborhoods have a worse murder rate than Detroit or Chicago. When those kids can't work at the shitty McDonalds in the bottom anymore, what else are they supposed to do?

We increased consumption to absorb the extra productivity per worker.

Increasing our consumption is running into environmental limits.

National debt becomes a meaningless number when it's all owned by the central bank, like it is in Japan and like it will soon be in the US.

>>8657407

We aren't exactly at 100% recycling. Energy isn't the only problem.

>>8657358

In an ideal world they would stop spending money like idiots, so they can afford a cheap computer and internet even on welfare. Behind which they would jerk off to anime and be a nice non property damage causing, non criminal NEET.

>>8657443
>We aren't exactly at 100% recycling. Energy isn't the only problem.
>implying a switch from fossil fuels wouldn't reduce waste as well
Once some genius gets alternative fuels economical gasoline will be toast.

>>8657363
It should be illegal to be this stupid

>>8656754
>except the industrial revolution didn't fuck over the working class
You should check out this work called "Life in the Iron Mills" and see how stupidly wrong you are.

I'm glad I'm in entertainment. By the time this shit collapses fully I'll have enough cash from milking the bored unemployed people that I can go live on an island or something. Hopefully I can move into some sort of space colony and my progeny can help populate a new planet in a few thousand years.

>>8657029
No he didn't, though he will certainty take credit for it. Because he is an idiot. Like you.

Kind of sounded like it. Unions allow workers to negotiate for better conditions and more money. You said it like it was a bad thing. But maybe I misunderstood. Hard to gauge tone.....i

>>8657887
No, I said they were replaced by people who make more money. It was very neutral.

>>8657919
Not sure why you had to throw in the union thing then. Lots of people who don't belong to unions make a lot of money. But you said union electricians and union steamfitters. Huh.

I'm still betting you voted for drumpf.

I operate CNC machines for a living, it is true that they do the work of 100 men but I still need to be there watching it and pressing buttons to make it go.

Even if robots replace all the burger flippers in mcdonalds, all that means is new 'human only' places will open up. I guaran-fucking-tee there will be plenty of people willing to pay a little extra for 'authentic handmade burgers'. Premium burger joints are already a thing.

Also I really don't see mcdonalds replacing their staff with robots. It would be a PR disaster. They've been woking for years on building their image into a 'real food place'. You might see smaller chains going all automated or even new chains popping up but it won't be mcdonalds going fully auto.

>>8658427
We already have it. If we collectively stop producing, the whole thing collapses. Why do you think the right has put so much effort in convincing labor to give up their rights to collective bargaining with "open shop" scab laws? Fucking labor, convinced by Clear Channel propaganda, cuts their own throat.

>>8658015
Because he asked who replaced the craftsman. Why are you getting so upset over this? Are you a union worker?

>But you said union electricians and union steamfitters
Because they make the most. Is this hard to understand for you?

You realize we're talking about McDonalds, right?

>>8659214
there is no reason you should ever have to eat at mcdonald's

again, how often do you actually get food poisoning? how often do you find a pube in your food? probably never

>>8658490
Because they are represented, have bargaining power, and make a decent wage for the highly skilled and sought after work they do. Not to mention the job is dirty and dangerous.

You sound upset. Are you starting to regret voting for Agent Orange?

Hold on, cowboy. Those guys can only make a lot of money if they aren't bullied or intimidated by unions, which means they have to work in predominately red areas since, well, unions don't really do anything for the average worker anymore other than take their money and promise the world without delivering

Jesus fucking christ, I just wanted to share an interesting development in technology with you guys.

Flippy was designed to work alongside a human counterpart. Could it replace burger flippers across the world? Maybe, but not this version; it currently acts as a force multiplier requiring less staff but certainly not as a replacement.

Unlike heart surgery robots (which actually drive up the cost per operation $1500-$2000), food establishments could theoretically buy enough of these units nationally/globally to bring the down the cost per unit, eventually making them a de facto need to run a high volume franchised fast food joint because 'muh profit margins'.

I don't see how this really makes sense, the investment represented by a fucking grill just doesn't justify crippling the automation process to this point. It just looks cute and gives some PhDs a justification to solve difficult problems, which really shouldn't even be an issue..

Until we have robots with true human like flexibility automation should be done in the classic way, production line wise. With the process adapted to machines, not trying to fit machines into a process adapted to humans. Like pic related.

>>8660283
Don't you know OP? Technology is never just technology in the year of our lord 2017. Everything has to have a political point or people who have no hope of ever understanding the science behind the development can't comment on its implications and collect free social brownie points on facebook.
