Liberals forget that.

What’s the difference? China treats human beings like robots anyway.
(Just like the good, compassionate socialists that they are.)
The real minimum wage is “gibs me dat.”
(C)onsider the following from TechRepublic who tells the story of Changying Precision Technology Company, which has replaced almost all of its human employees with robots to great success …So are they going to distribute the products for free according to “need”, like in an idealized communist society? After all, Marx advised in the Manifesto that the goal was “to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible”, resulting in “an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all”—his only description of communist society, which we can see is vapid, vague and devoid of any detail.
China has a BILLION people, the vast majority are pretty sadly off and they are turning to robots...
Well I guess there is always a shovel for digging wells...
Wait until the leftists start attacking scabbots...
Food, clothing, and shelter can be had in this country for free. If you want to be independent then $9/hr could do it. People forget just how basic the basics can be.
Central planning (socialism/communism/marxism) can never work. Liberals especially the media reporters think it can but they are dead wrong.
In-N-Out Burger has found a way to pay more than others for starting off, then increasing the pay very soon for employees.
Perhaps, BK just has a different model.
I wonder what brand of cellphone they make there
Wasn’t there car manufacturing in California that started using robots and there was a massive Union uproar about it....don’t know if the plant shut its doors or if its still there...I think this was maybe early 70’s?????
This is why you have bad service at minimum wage jobs like McDonald's but not at in and out burger
Let's say i could hire employees at $5 per hour but I would quickly give raises to those that work hard and or do well. then soon I'd have the top ones making $15 per hour and they'd be likely to stay and the ones $5 would quit soon. but if i had to pay all at $15 then I couldn't afford to raise to $25 for the good ones. See ?
It works almost like the free market. you are willing to pay more for better quality or higher value products but if you introduce price controls that ruins the market.
government interference like wage controls, price controls, minimum wage ,affirmative action and the many other burdensome regulations interfere and ruin many businesses. this is why you have lower quality service and product in some fast food joints.
This robot revolution is not in the best interest of society. What is a man if he can't work?
The robots have produced almost three times as many pieces as were produced before. According to the People's Daily, production per person has increased from 8,000 pieces to 21,000 pieces. That's a 162.5% increase.
Words fail me here. They produce 2.63 time more now than with the former 650 employees. So the present 60 employees are producing three times more? Shouldn't it be 21,000/8,000*650/60 = 28.4 times more per person? Or, are they implying the robots are equal to 650 - 60 = 590 employees?
Gov regulations and high taxes do cause a loss of jobs. This is why there are less adults now working as percentage of the population than at any time as many are on welfare , disability etc. This thanks also to the marxist Obama not automation or machines.
Robot on Drugs
Any questions ?
If we hadn’t imported millions of cheap labor illegals, our robotic industry would have been far more advanced than it is now. We would have a huge demand for people with technical skills to make an automated industry operate. We would have dealt sweat shops a death blow. Poverty would have shrunk. Instead, our political elite have taken us in the opposite direction.
Physicist Michio Kaku says we are 50 years away from the technology you’re talking about.
They just ran a contest worldwide to build a rescue/firefighting robot, and not only could they not think, they all fell over.
He said this in response to all those scientist last week calling for a ban on autonomous weapons.
He says we are a couple of generations away from having to worry about that.
