If you really look at this $15.00 an hours situation, robots come to mind...car manufacturers use a lot of them, have decreased the number of human workers...they used the reasoning as: no sick days, didn’t have to cover insurance, cheaper labor...

Well now, you look at that, and most employers will shut their doors, and then no one will have a job anywhere, also, libs are famous for this crap, more RAT voters to vote...and also think about those poor illegal immigrants that won’t have to come here illegally, they can’t be ‘robots’...

Let's not forget the self checkout POS terminals in retail stores that are already becoming more common.

And here is a good example of what you are referring to:

The bank and credit union branches in the area where I live are all moving to on-line live tellers.

It's like doing your banking business at a drive up window.
You are talking to a live person but they are in a central location somewhere.

Formerly our local branch usually had 4 to 6 tellers working.
Now they have been replaced by 4 walk up kiosks with ineractive teller machines.

We have been doing business there for many years and had come to know some of the tellers quite well.

Now they are gone and we will be dealing with anonymous people behind a machine.

Too late. :) Robots are already here in a small scale.

Get a pizza in 3 mins for 5 bucks:

Pizza Machine in Italy

McD's is working on a burger flipping machine and just yesterday I saw a sample hands-free McCafe kiosk being tested in Chicago.

The Japs have developed a special robot that can care for and pick strawberries at their perfect time.

But think further down the line: If a machine can make a pizza crust like the one in the video, why not bread? It's just dough. WHy not lasagna? Its just dough?

All these things are just breads, sauces of one form or another and meat.

The only thing a machine can't do for you is spit on your meal outta spite.

These dunces are going to be hung by their own petard (or retard).
