All of this Capitalism stuff has me confused.
We wouldn’t be having this “tastes great” / “less filling” back and forth if we stopped SENDING OUR JOBS ELSEWHERE.
Good news for me, as I’m pretty an ATM is what I am. An ATM with a dick.
It is funny how a so called progressive will despise certain technological advancements all for keeping us in a job. Progressives denouncing progress.
Diebold makes ATM and the voting machines. Hmmmm.
I honestly think that if one of his aides mistakenly fed a cookbook into his teleprompter, obama would deliver it as his state of the union address. and he wouldn’t know the difference.
You do not understand Obama.......
ATMs were the product of capitalism -— hence, they are bad.
Automation as a result of government funding is good.
We must build robots that can defeat ATMs.
Lotta robot news lately. Well, there’s this...
Guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender.
The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168”. The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says,” What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”. Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”, and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.” The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”
He brought up ATM’s and not transistors for a reason.

Speaking at the Saul Alinsky & Luddite Alliance Institute in Santa Cruz, California yesterday. President Obama expanded his popular ATM initiative. The initiative to rid the country of job-killing ATM's and replace them with people.
The President explained that the first ATM was introduced December 1972 at Lloyds Bank by IBM in the UK and that is when high tech started killing jobs. Then he said, "Why not other inventions since 1972? Why should they get a pass? If we can change the borders of Israel to 1967, why not the borders of job-killing technology?" Obama said with his preacher like rhetoric.
It was so universally accepted by people here in Santa Cruz that President Obama decided to expand his job plan initiative further with a little help from his teleprompter.
President Obama explained other structural problems with the economy and how the vending machine lobby has taken away jobs. As he said with conviction in his voice and a broken cadence, "The vending machine lobby has displaced the local candy man business on almost every corner in New York City. How horrible is that for little children with sad little faces with big rosy cheeks."
The president moved right back to attacking the high-tech job-killing lobby and GPS satellites. GPS satellites are also on target for this job creation president. He also outlined how he would turn off all GPS satellites since they have replaced so many flight navigators. And this has even been a more recent job-killer than the ATM's. "So they are definitely fair game." He said. "This also means there will be more need for FAA personnel in towers since more airplanes will be more likely to need help for wandering airplanes."
Another reason for ending the GPS program Obama explained, "NASA is doing Islamic outreach projects now. They don't need to be bothered with satellites and that job-killing techy stuff that we've all ready done before anyway." This was in reference to Obama canceling NASA's manned space flight for the foreseeable future.
Also, our President Obama presented several other ideas including the blocking of Internet e-mail. "How many post office jobs has the Internet cost the country? And this has been within the last fifteen years. How many newspapers has the Internet put out of business?" He demanded! As he gazed into the enthusiastic crowd. "How many librarians have lost their jobs because of the Internet?" No one in the crowd could answer his insightful questions.
Like a laser, next on President Obama's list were golf carts. Obama has signed an executive order banning golf carts because they have displaced so many caddies. A caddy with out a job or health care. "How callous are these republicans that sit and ride in their golf carts", he said with reflective wonderment. Obama said he has personal knowledge of the caddies that no longer show up to carry his clubs, Gatorade or Mint Juleps.
Also, Obama also said the biggest impediment to his shovel ready job stimulus has been Caterpillar. "Just how many jobs has Caterpillar killed?" He said. "At least a billion shovel ready jobs. That's how many!" As he slammed down his clutched fist knocking over one of his teleprompters and spilling Kool-Aid all over the Che Guevara delegation.
Without the aid of his shorted teleprompter, Obama improvised his speech and shouted with passion. "Throw down your shovel and pick up your teaspoon and follow me to Hope and Prosperity." The crowd started shouting in unison, "TEASPOON, TEASPOON, TEASPOON!!!"
Obama finished up by saying that, "If these initiatives are passed right away that unemployment will be fall below 8% within days and not weeks."
President Obama is now looking for another $2 Trillion dollar stimulus and a nice tax hike on job-killing high tech companies that have put so many Americans out of work.
It looks like President Obama is ready to shift the economy into high gear or should I say, "Gidyup Mr. President!!!"
TRANSLATION OF DEMOCRAT SPEAK: We need to kick some more money to the teacher's unions and label it as 'investing in our children's future."
I remember the Jetsons when I was a child. Robots replaced humans, and the Jetsons lived the life of leasure.
The difference is, business's don't pay those replaced by machines to hang around and work for few hours for the same pay they made for working full time. The machines are doing their work, and the humans are out on their ass.
It's common sense.
well ya know... ATMs aren’t robotics... they’re tooootally different
Why does Zero even hold press conferences? He could just send his teleprompter out, have it projected on a big screen and people could just read it without having to put up with Zero, the Secret Service, his personal goons, SEIU and other labor goons and bunches of liberal “news readers” )(aka journalists). Then when the teleprompter says something incredibly stupid, like ATMs stealing jobs or robots creating jobs, he could just blame it on “bad programming”!
While Robots don’t unionized they also don’t care where they live, what “Freedoms” they have, and they do have to pay energy prices.
To that end even if we fully mechanized our industry which I agree is the way to go, we still can’t compete with the increasingly freer and cheaper China.
There is no escaping the fact that energy is expensive here cause of goverment rules & regulations just like labor, land uses, trade, ect..
