They had those or something very similar to that when I was in Rome and they still had a few cashiers and all the people in the kitchen where still there.

 

They also have something like that in a few of the airports I've been to

Probably will happen to all of us in not too distant future.

Seriously, I have never understood the hesitancy to automate jobs that can be automated. That is called progress, and it will drive growth in other sectors. Did people complain like this when automobiles replaced horse buggies?

 

I am sure they did, actually.

Problem occurs when every job can be automated.

At that time I will welcome our robot overlords. :p

If its not immigrants taking our jobs, its robots! Right? Right? Life is a constant uphill battle to not lose your job to inanimate objects and people that (usually) cant speak the language. :p

 

Get ready for robocommunism under Karl Marxatron. :bow:

Hey what did I say in the last thread? Real wealth is freedom from worry. If we lived in a world where things were actually free, meaning it costs nothing to provide them not that someone else has to pay for them, then we would all be wealthy.

y'know, it is this kinda utopian euro-socialist nonsense which makes it possible for a dinosaur like khan noonien singh to wreak so much havoc every time he shows up in the star trek universe.  ain't khan's advanced intellect or physical advantages but is his ability to see every interaction in terms o' conflict which allows him to achieve tactical and strategic advantage before his namby-pamby federation foes even realize a war has started.  though they never met (lucky for the federation) a guy like picard would be trying to find a way to achieve compromise even when confronted by a guy like khan.  picard may be our favorite star trek captain, but kirk and sisko is the captains we need... or maybe quark.

 

 

HA! Good Fun!

Long live fully automated communism ;)

 

Honestly though, I feel like ongoing automation makes the case of the left stronger. I mean how many people will genuinely NEED to work for society to function in 20, 30 years?

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

What was that one Pompeii guy up to?

A high school sophomore spotted Secretary Mattis' phone number on a released white house photo. He called the number, asking for an interview for his school paper.
Chaos gave him one.

Quote
“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling
