Defining Social Justice Warrior

[Zoraptor]

That's for New Zealand, we have a big excess of humanities teachers and a major shortage of science and technology teachers. Don't know how it is elsewhere but you'd certainly know the US situation better than I. There's also a shortage of rural teachers and teachers for remote areas but that's more of a fundamental problem (housing available, reduced social aspects etc) than BA grads deciding to go for teaching as there aren't jobs in anything else then finding there aren't jobs there either.

You know what SJW nazi is. Our Kanandian PM who  says all the 'right things'. He calls himself a feminist, he hates men, he claims to be anti violence... but when push comes to shove... he loves to physically attack women. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

SJW Nazism at his finest!!!

[Hiro Protagonist]

That looked more like an elbow to the boob than the chest. Just call it boob and be done with it.

There was some sort of kerfuffle in the commons today. A heated discussion between MPs, and Trudeau came to pull one of his guys out of the discussion and accidentally elbowed a female conservative MP in the chest, who had to run away because she was so violated.

Overblown contact but I dunno why he was going over there in the first place.

[Volourn]

Because  he is the PM and is the MASTER OF HIS DOMAIN. Peasant.

Have you googled Bay Area home prices? While I'm sure bad financial planning and jonesian endeavors are an issue for many, it doesn't change the fact the Bay Area is not affordable.

% of homes over $1 million

San Francisco: 57%

San Jose: 46%

Oakland: 20%

LA: 16%

NY: 12%

Seattle: 7%

Big city avg 3

How do people live here without COLA?

[Hurlshort]

I'm surprised by New York.  Is that the city or the state?  I would think they would be higher.

If it was only Manhattan, it would definitely be higher, but they're including all the buroughs.

 

I still can't get over the fact that 1 in 5 houses in OAKLAND are over a million dollars.

[Hurlshort]

Oakland is the new hotbed.  I keep meaning to get up to Jack London Square, I hear it is the hip place to be.  

[Leferd]

The Hills, Piedmont, and Rockridge neighborhoods have always been swank and Emeryville is tech friendly.

 

But it's West Oakland that has seen the greatest change. History of gang activity, drive-bys, illicit trade....but the tech hipsters are taking over.

McDonald’s ex-CEO: $15/hr minimum wage will unleash the robot rebellion.

McDonald’s ex-CEO: $15/hr minimum wage will unleash the robot rebellion.

 

I read that earlier, it made me laugh.  If McDonalds can save money by automating their restaurants, by all means they should do it.  It will create a massive boom in robotics jobs.  None of this excuses a business from paying a livable wage, particularly one as profitable as McDonalds.  

[Gfted1]

I found it interesting that in a little over one year of paying someone $15/hour, you completely pay off the robot in full (2080 x 15 = 31200).

[ShadySands]

I've been to a few with the kiosks and they all seemed to still have a full staff. But I wouldn't really know if they were only short by one or two people

[Hurlshort]

Yeah, but that robot is still going to require regular maintenance and upgrades.  It also probably isn't really equipped to handle the customer service aspects.  You can probably argue that the average McDonalds isn't equipped for that either, but if their job is no longer about flipping fries, then you would expect them to be able to focus more on the human element.  

[Gfted1]

You only need a human in the front end taking orders and dealing with people. Everything from the register on back can be automated. I agree that maintenance would need to be factored in but thats chump change compared to "managing" a human. No rest, no errors. Humans are almost always the weak link in a system, unless you need decision making capabilities. And I think in our lifetime we will see machine even overcome that limitation.

It just seems weird to me that the rationale behind keeping the minimum wage lower is that these jobs are really obsolete.  Why are we stifling progress? 

[Oerwinde]

Like full service gas stations. Those jobs exist to give people jobs, not because they fill any sort of need.

I most certainly hope so; after all, the decision-making capabilities of your average person are also kind of ****.

 

To be fair though, most humans tend to be at least passable at human-to-human interaction.
