Get dressed, grab your wallet and your card key, take a walk and work off that glass of wine, find a convenience store or a pharmacy and buy a toothbrush.
Walk back to hotel, doff the clothes and get back to drinking. Total loss of time? 30 minutes? Minimum human interaction. Easy peasy.
McWorkers strike nationwide and demand higher wages, then act surprised and offended that companies are looking to replace them with robots? Must have slept through “Logical Consequences” class.
“Its more consistent, more sanitary, and “
...won’t spit or spray oven cleaner in your burger.

More robots- taking grunt jobs-
Exactly why the last thing we need are hordes of illegal aliens with a second grade education. They don’t even speak Spanish. Many/most speak Indian languages like Mam.

"Wanna have some fun?" she asked. First words out of my mouth were "Sorry, honey, you'd have to pay me more than you could possibly afford." Her grip on my arm went limp immediately and the look on her face was priceless. Just then, the light turned green.
If one begins with the assumption that the buyers will buy just so much, then it follows that if now that given quantity of goods can be produced with less labor, because of the adoption of labor-saving machinery, then there will be correspondingly less work available for people to do, and thus that improvements in machinery cause unemployment.
But in a free capitalistic division of labor society characterized by economic progress,
(1)the aggregate demand curve shows that even any given quantity of money and volume of spending is potentially capable of buying an unlimited quantity of goods at lower prices, and no matter how great the output becomes at the point of full employment, it will be demanded.
