I’ll go back to McDonald’s when they learn how to deliver a hot sandwich. Maybe these machines have promise...

Automation is coming soon to all of us in America and we will not only be able to replace fast food workers with machines, but also truck drivers, cab & uber drivers, crane operations, oilfield workers, airline pilots, factory workers, farm workers, dock workers, coal miners, steel workers and many other jobs.

All of this will be a great windfall for American business and the American consumer.

We will lead the world in employee automation.

If a device can be made that guts and trims a salmon, and puts it in a can, replacing expensive Chinese laborers, it shouldn't be too difficult to make an “iron-snowflake” that replaces millennial burger flippers.

Next question -— what will those replaced by automation be doing?

Next question -— what will those replaced by automation be doing?

Protesting, rioting.

“Next question -— what will those replaced by automation be doing?”

That’s not our problem.

However, there are lots of jobs in design and engineering of the technology, software, manufacturing and maintenance or these machines.

So, instead of having truck drivers, auto factory workers, coal miners or people working in an appliance factory, we will have people people writing code to control the machines.

“At the same time as a coalition dedicated to passing legislation that would boost the state’s hourly minimum wage to $15 delivered its presentation on Beacon Hill, across town in Kenmore Square a McDonald’s franchise unveiled the world’s first Big Mac machine…”

Love the optics.

If you get a cold sandwich, return it and ask for fresh.

This is as much on you as them. It is the same with any business (or restaurant). If you are not happy with the product, send it back.

When I do get a breakfast at McDonald I ask that it be made fresh and I can stand there and watch them make it.

But I have a feeling you just don’t like McDonalds which is fine.

If McDonald’s would go back to the 70s/80s era ingredients, I would be a real customer again.

Ya know those smoked slabs of wafer sliced salmon on golden card board?

The slicing and packaging is by machine. A laser continually reads the grain of the filet, and slices accordingly.

The fileting, smoking, and loading is manual, from what I remember.

And, the biggest processor in right in NYC.

Uh,uh !

Two of my grandsons earn $10.00 an hour doing part time cashiering at a local supermarket in MA.

They will be looking for other work.

Of course, since the income of those replaced workers is $0, there will be fewer patrons for the machine made products.

[Rebelbase]

A machine can’t spit in your food.

The optics are great, from automation at McDonald’s to automation at factories and automation in all of our lives and in almost every industry.

It’s great for America.

With autonomous cars and trucking, we increase safety, eliminate or greatly reduce the need for insurance, auto body repair, traffic cops, truck drivers, and truck stops
