this is what happens with a 15 mibium wage

>Low skilled people may have no jobs to fill in a few decades.
I wish they would automate farming first. that's what brings all the spics here.

This. Automation would happen over night if that came into effect

>tfw stopped eating garbage
I've dropped almost 20 pounds
Fuck McDonalds

this is capitalist garbage there is a better way

SHEEIT NIA WHAT ABOUT MUH MINIMUM WAAGE

Farming is already heavily automated, what are you talking about?

I dislike it. I never use them

Oh do tell, genius.

Wtf ?

I work in automation so I like it.

McDonald's saw that states were going to keep raising minimum wage so they decided to adapt. The libtards said the corporations would just accept the losses from the increased minimum wage and not do anything. Nope, they decided to replace all their employees with machines. This will eventually result in mass unemployment. Another problem could be that while McDonald's can invest in these machines, small business owners are completely unable to. They're the ones who won't be able to afford the $15 minimum wage and will go out of business.

What? We've had these for years

When will we have automation/armor suits like the Forerunners have in Halo? Where all my body processes are maintained automatically and I can be free to just enjoy life.

Better yet, when will we come up with a technology that can replace everything every cell in my body does, every thought I have, etc.? These atoms in my body need to be free to pursue other endeavors like being dirt in the ground turning into rocks waiting for the universe to either dissipate into nothingness through entropy or it reverses somehow into a reverse Big Bang.

Automation is not solving all your problems its removing humans for the sake of profits you moron.

>feeling bad for dumb people who aren't capable of skilled work

Refuse to use those machine

Same thing happened at my bank last week. Walk in, set up has changed now only two tellers, four have been closed replaced by screens just like in OPs pic

> a staff member goes through the queue asking people to come use the machines 'for convenience and to speed things up'.
> Everyone says, no we will use a teller ty
> she says 'line up goes out the door, someone please come use our new system, its not fair you're making people wait unnecessary'
. this pisses people off even more
> lots of groans and even a wtf
> arguments ensue, customers saying all sorts of things, biggest comment everyone makes 'employ more staff'
> feel sorry for the girl, having to promote a new system that will shortly replace her.
> I tell her I will always use a teller out of principle, don't want to be part of the reason she loses her job
> she trots out a line I know head office have told her to say 'no user, my job is to give you more choice by helping you do the job yourself'
> tell her it makes no sense and hope her next job is with a decent employer that cares for their staff and customers
> everyone agrees, someone says 'hear, hear'

Tldr: fuck I hate automation

>if we let them lower our wages to 3rd world shit hole levels, they won't replace us and we win!

How cucked and contradictory can one board be?

>we don't want the free market to work when it comes to trade because muh protectionism! MAGA!

>haha stoopid libdums see that? Free market in action that's what you get!

McDonald's promoting gay marriage and obesity since 1940. Don't worry if your country doesn't have one yet we will soon bomb you, invade you, and install one on every street corner.

In my city it's all Hispanics that work those jobs, white people have already moved on.

Lol advancement is not about making your life good anymore, it's about making you obselete so the rich can remove you.

Do you know what automation means user? Are you sure I'm the moron? Yes it's makes profits, but through solving all of our problems.

The younger folks are being prepped to be totally OK with automation. They're so anti-interactions many will actually prefer a machine than human interaction. Your type will die out and become the minority.

now get chik fil a to do it. they just opened up in vegas, and i dont want to look at anyone working there

The fact of the matter is that within 15 years there will be no jobs period, or reason to work.
Everything will be automated, monetary systems will be replaced with some sort of socialist-like system that will grant people free housing, utilities and all your food will come from Amazon Go, which will be free.

I'm not going as often. I like having a cashier I can ask for condiments I don't want to touch a poo laden screen to put in a order. Wendy's wins again

I do agree that yes, humanity is doing everything in its power to make itself obsolete.

Guarantees an order can't be screwed up, I can't really complain.

>Low skilled people may have no jobs to fill in a few decades.
Stop it with this meme. Unemployment has either lowered or stayed the same, regardless of technology. The only thing that does change is that productivity increases.

just dont go to mcshit, normal white people never buy food there. All I see are dumb women driving away with $4 coffee drinks like Starjews

>yfw libtards will be okay with this because they are so absorbed into digital technology they would rather talk to machines than humans

no it doesn't the grill operator could cook it wrong and the server could bag you wrong things still. This is not automation this is McDonalds being cheap cunts and making YOU do the job for them. literally being a McCuck

Yay then we can receive welfare from president Zuckerborg, only if you take your happy pills and engage in state enforced homosexuality using a virtual headset to have simulated furry orgies in Call of Duty Black Cocks 6969 for the fagbox 420.

universal basic income. the only future option.

Lmao what are you talking about? Yoy actually believe that the unemployment numbers aren't fucked with?

data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000

on a side note, start making offers to this machines. granted this really only works grocery stores, but who knows where the future goes.

>snow peas: $6/lb
>grean beans: $1.20/lbs
welp, make the machine an offer for the green bean price by typing in the bean code (think its 4070 or something). if the machine accepts your offer, kudos.

also, turn off the machine volume because the machines tend to yell whatever youre scanning

>advancement is bad
Luddites like you need the helicopter.

>Sup Forums is one person
The beauty of this place is that we can disagree with each other without getting banned, don't you see that?

No problem. They'll automate the griller and bagger next.

Our point is that these jobs are not intended to be careers. Outside of urban areas, most adults do not try to compete for these jobs. They're not meant to be long-term things, just placeholders between proper paying jobs.

When will the technology be around to where I can upload my consciousness into a Commodore 64?

? Telstea just cut 1,400 jobs despite posting 1billion profit last year. its the balance not the min wage and its why these big corps support immigrations but they gotta get their government moniesss

A supermarket chain in my area spent a ton of money replacing most of their checkouts with self checkouts.

After a couple years of having almost nothing but self checkouts, they went back to the old system of regular checkouts. They found that the self checkouts was actually slower than a cashier + bagger, and they were losing business because of the long lines

A have a hunch something similar may happen with this, because people are fucking stupid.

They need to make the bar code scanner work faster. Sometimes it never turns on and I'm pressing my phone up to it like a dumbass for 2min.

Hell why not just make the McDonalds a shack with automated gizmos that require 0 humans

They had the technology to automate the grill line since the 90s. It's expensive

Just imagine. Automated shitposting on Sup Forums that shitposts about how everything in the future will be automated. You're practically a dinosaur anonymous.

>everyone will live in slave ghettos completely dependent on the government for scraps

You just described a dystopia. Tell me how giving blacks free housing and food has worked out for them.

>Low skilled people may have no jobs to fill in a few decades.
Why do people in the USA look down on people that work in fast food joints? These are just considered entry level jobs here, mostly for kids but there are senior positions, someone has to run the place. A job is a job.

This is exactly what happens when you let in illegal retards who will do the shitty teenager shitty jobs, then bitch because they can't support their 12 kids doing no-skill, teenager-level work. $15 an hour? That's fucking stupid.
Not to mention that the teenagers all turn into lazy fucktards, because there aren't jobs to teach them the value of hard work and a paycheck.

>unemployment numbers are fucked with
>shows me unemployment numbers
Which ones are OK?

>Hell why not just make (insert your job here) a shack with automated gizmos that require 0 humans?

McRobotos profit harvester, get in early, this will be huge.

its like a smog check kiosk, except burgers. ill probably want one installed in my home walls

Glad I own 300 shares. Hope they fire everyone.

awesome, now automate the cooking process and maybe I can get fries that are fresh and properly salted

Not even kidding, the next phase of fast food are robotic, self-driving food trucks. Take Momentum Machines' automatic burger technology, drop it into a standard truck, apply self-driving technology.
Why deal with the possibility of failing franchises when you can have a fleet of fast food trucks that shift based on demand from day to day, or even perform delivery.

Pol says jobs are disappearing and then criticizes people who work jobs like this full time

while people should be paid a wage that doesn't require you to be on welfare and shit, businesses shouldn't be forced to pay more for workers if they have a legitimate option to just replace them with tech

the minimum wage is too low, but that's not the problem. the problem is that we have too many fucking people here and we keep bringing in more, when we need to fill less jobs and we have massive housing shortages in literally every major city

complaining about the minimum wage is short-sighted small-picture bullshit, and it allows people to just ignore the big picture altogether.

>if we stop letting immigrants in the labor pool shrinks
>if we deport illegals the labor pool shrinks
>if white women stay home and raise children the labor pool shrinks
>this decrease in supply of labor increases demand, and therefore wages
>suddenly men are being hired at fair wages
>suddenly western women are having kids in nuclear families
Automation is unavoidable. The best thing to do is to at least avoid an over saturated labor market so the jobs that remain once the low skill stuff is automated are at least well paying and benefiting the citizens of the nation.

FPBP
>muh 15 minimum, being a cashier is hard
That line of thought and level of laziness is why there will be no more cashiers

> full time
damn right. i respect people who work ~16 hours/week at mcdonalds. i wish a dozen metal shaving splinters on anyone working 30+hrs at mcdonalds

But they're shilling the exact opposite. They're importing niggers by the millions to expand the labor pool and make competition for the lowest rung of society even tougher.

For the ponzi scheme of the upper class you need a constant flow of suckers buying in.

Can i have a job?

Excuse me for calling these unemployment numbers; these are just the percentage of people in the workforce. Unemployment excludes people unable to work.

data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

Check these out instead.

In my town most of the fast-food jobs are taken by melanoids. You don't really see many working elsewhere. What's going to happen when these jobs are taken away?

I still want it to happen, but I wonder about the consequences.

We have had these mcdonalds machine for ages and wait times have at least doubled.
>too many options make customers indecisive and slow
>"do I want 2 pickles or 3?"
>parents with 2 or more kids have the kids fighting over who get to "push the buttons" on touchscreen
>every order i tweaked and irreguar isntead of the easy combos
>kitchen efficiency drops sicne their assembly mine mentality is interrupted as they double check each order
>"oh fuck did I put two pickles on that last burger or three?"
>errors increase
>wait times for food increases
>customer backlog waiting for food occupies half the store and everyone is pissed

These are an enormous failure

And who do you think builds these machines? The Silicon valley oligarchs own the Democratic party, is it such a surprise they push a high min wage?

Got a helicopter waiting for you, commie

can you actually decide the number of pickles? ever order a pickle-burger?

good. they wont need mass migration to prop up their businesses anymore. peope will have to get real jobs

yes. There are sub-menus for all that shit. it is similar to those coke fountain drink machines that let you mix 6000 combos. People take forever deciding.

This shit is a fucking end run for Communism, I telling you guys.

>government and business conspire to destroy jobs
>government steps in to provide universal income
>universal welfare is spent on frivolities like fast food

one nut scratching the other

I hate those machines. It is so much easier to deal with a human. Maybe if it used voice recognition it would be more palatable.

ill fuck u up gurantee it.

ah, gotcha. kinda neat, id try it a couple times.

Here it is in action. This buy makes ridiculous burger.

Advancement this fast is.

there are plenty of jobs out there for people without skills. for example, a lot of factories and warehouses hire drug addicts, high school dropouts and ex-cons. they are willing to train you too. people are without jobs mostly for these reasons:
-they are unwilling to work a job outside of their field of study
-they are unwilling to work a job for less money than they became used to prior to job loss
-they are unwilling to do physical labor
-they are unwilling to move to a new location
-they are unwilling to take a job search seriously
-they just dont want to work a job

we don't need mcdonalds

automation is inevitable with or without wage change
why wouldn't a business take advantage of technological advances

And this is why you don't demand $15 minimum wage. Chances are, those obnoxious niggers and wetbacks demanding $15 are the first to get fired. And the beneficiaries of this would be the few whites they keep on board.

And those same niggers and wetbacks would be back tomorrow to buy their McChickens and shit.

It's worrying. With previous advances in technology people could just specialise, with this an entire IQ ranges work is being automated (with that range increasing with no stop in sight). Idiots and kids need work too, they can't do complex tasks.
I think when automation hits a high enough point (assuming society hasn't crumbled or solved this problem) the rich will start purging what would essentially be welfare leeches.
Shit even I'm not safe and I'm a software dev (albeit a mid to low-tier one), recent AI have been able to steal code from other programs, they've created an indian that doesn't need to poo.

I'd much rather use that than talk to some black birch who Jacks up my order and I have to help her fix it. Then God forbid you give them cash and they have to try to figure out how to count and give you change back. I'm all about the automation. I always use self checkout too.

amazing. a bit of a shame that it doesnt weave the toppings around. it just fuckin stacks all the tomatoes together, all the cheese, etc...

we also have to increase the efficiency to make it stack burgers several feet tall. it's a long road ahead

How come?

I worked at maccas when i was in high school. went through their management program and ended up getting offered area manager position, I opted not to and went on to get much better jobs.

Meanwhile the niggers and spics who worked with me either still work the fryer or were fired and now are unemployed.

...

>Literally taking away other people's jobs
You're a Mexican by any chance?

>this decrease in supply of labor increases demand, and therefore wages

Retake econ 101 and pay attention in class this time.

Your only problem seems to be with niggers and spics then, whites are much less likely to make this fuck up.

Japan has resturants like this all over. I don't see the problem ヽ(´ー`)ノ

>Sup Forums *isn't* one person

Enough with this meme. Everyone else is one person and so are you. Jews, all one person. Liberals, all one person. Feminists, all one person. Muslims, definitely all one person.

BTW if youre getting mcdonalds, use the app to order. you can customize your meal more and its way quicker.

Fight for $15? kek

Great.


Now no one can fuck up my order, An I won't have to shout it though bullet proof glass whenever I drive though Chicago

>letting a nigger handle your food

Communism will rise again.

Technocracy runs this bitch

What's an intelligent guy like you doing on Sup Forums?
