Matthews looks like a malfunctioning robot in this picture
No you silly MSNBC person - it’s ATM’s! Didn’t you listen to your leg tinglie guy???
When can we get a machine to do Hardball?
When there were people doing those jobs, they whined, complained, unionized, demanded ridiculous amounts of money, sued for ridiculous reasons, and then complained non-stop while providing awful customer service or even damaging the customer’s merchandise.
I’d rather have bots.
He’s got a point. Same with manufacturing. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Just means it’s a problem for no-skilled people who can’t adapt.
Chris Matthews is the dumbest person in America. He was giving fellatio to lib Dems all his political career working for Tip O’Neil, who was a total a%%hole.

He is right, and Charles Murry concurs. The small jobs are not available much any more and frankly, we are poorer for it. The gas pumpers, the street sweepers, the baggers and carry to the car guys. the guy who lived in the basement and kept my granmother’s coal furnace going. The women who took in washing, the men who carried items.
Not everyone can do big jobs because of their IQ or mental status. Now we have no little jobs.
Maybe Chrissy and friends should throw their wooden shoes into the machinery.
Okay, Chris. You have a point. Robots are everywhere.
I have a solution to this problem.
Everyone goes out and adds another firearm of his/her choice to their collection to prepare for the upcoming Skynet attack.
If those robots even THINK about getting out of line, well, we’ll be ready for them.
To MSNBC:
Replace Chrissy with a chimp and no one will be any the wiser.
Robots. I always knew it was them.
Actually, blaming machines for job losses doesn’t sound Marxist, it sound Luddite.
But, given the general level of historical illiteracy in the country, I suppose if one were in a forgiving mood, one could let it pass that a leftist “pundit” can’t to tell one looney 19th century movement from another, even if one is named for an actual person and the other for a mythical figure.
Ok, I go to CVS frequently and I have never seen a robot. I wonder where Mathews shops.
What a moron. Those CVS kiosks simply check prices and spit out coupons.
Actually, MSNBC could replace it’s HOSTS with robots. Just have Kos and HuffPo phone in the days drivel and the robotic host could spew it out just like Chrissie and that other guy (Maddow?) do.
If he is so concerned with robots replacing humans, use the register with actual cashiers. Most stores have both open, giving the consumer choice.
Often times I find the self-checkout lanes quicker for small trips, and I can get things bagged the way I want. Most of the time if a regular lane is open and has no bagger people just stand around looking confused instead of getting on the end and bagging. Then I have to wait while the cashier scan and bags the items.
They still have cashiers employed. At any supermarket with self-checkout they will have one cashier to watch several lanes and assist when needed.
What about the people who design the machines, manufacture them, program them, install and maintain them, manage contracts with raw materials and parts suppliers, those kinds of people?
Gee, let’s bring back horse and buggy drivers, hand-lettering of manuscripts, manual tilling of fields, oarsmen to propel boats, the pony express - lots of jobs there.
And instead of putting on a hi-tech television show, Chris can hire an army of town criers to go throughout the land, proclaiming the news (which he has obtained by carrier pigeon - give those pigeon breeders and trainers some job opportunities).
So did these robots magically appear, or did people have to design them (both mechanical and electrical), create drawings, procure parts, manufacture them, sell them and service them?
