Should be interesting to see how it does. There's a lot of people who delivery is almost essential to getting goods, elderly/disabled/no transportation, just hope the cost for the services don't put it out of reach for those that really need such a service, or they have programs to help those folks.

For most of the rest of us, it's a convenience, that is welcomed when necessary, but there are still some items I want to see and choose, like meats, produce, etc.

Millions Of Jobs Have Been Lost To Automation. Economists Weigh In On What To Do About It

"They're taking our jobs!!!"

"Who is?"

The "They're Taking Our Jobs" argument towards automation is almost as old and tired as the one related to immigration.

Yet it is far more factual.

Not by much (thus far).

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. IA is taking over a lot of very good paying jobs that people actually want. Now if we want to consider all jobs equally, then you may have a point. But is a job that people can't actually make a decent living at equal to a job that people can? That may be where our opinions differ.

In the end it will work, and less costly over time then hiring people to do it.

Automation is already all around.

How often do you call somewhere to get a automated phone system?

You push a few buttons, don't get what you want and finally get a prompt to speak to a representative, who is usually named "Andrew" and speaks in a heavy Indian accent.

It's odd how so many people complain about immigrants taking our jobs but defend corporations doing it. I guess it's really not about jobs being taken but more about who it is that's taking them.

That’s why I laugh at the fear mongering over immigration. They were taking jobs most people didn’t want, while the robots are taking all the jobs they want.

Well obviously they can’t get at a robot cause it doesn’t give two craps, so they pick the humans to trash. It’s why I also I don’t understand why they tried to so hard to give power and deregulation to corporations. One of the most effective and efficient ways to lower expenses is to lower labor cost.

And republicans voters fought like hell to make sure corporations had the money and resources to do a good job of it. So first corporations lowered cost by shipping jobs overseas, and now they don’t even have to do that.

Hope y’all got that bread right on the stock market. And a dip savings account. Robots don’t give two craps about your conservative Christian values.

It would be interesting to see the numbers. Cause based on what I saw and heard in that report, you have robots just picking stuff and bringing it to packers.

But someone has to still unload the truck and get the stuff into the bins. The system has added packers (which in some ways is the place of the cashier), then you have the delivery folks.

So the number would be interesting to see how many people it replaced, and how many did it just reposition.

Ahhhh, I was complaining about the automated system.

Any complaint about the person on the phone is simply about them being hard to understand. I don't care where they live.

Quit trying to pick for things that aren't there.

Nice rant. Too bad it is baseless babble.

It’s not though.

Y’all fought like hell to give power to the very entities that didn’t want to pay people in the first place.

In about 50 years we’re gonna have robots so advance, they’re even replacing the feminist. You’ve seen those sex robots in Japan. They’re about to be so realistic AND dudes ain’t gonna worry about consent? Perfect reality for the tucker Carlson fanboys.

Unless they don’t have a job to pay for one.....

No, I can't say I have seen the sex robots in Japan.

Vice wrote articles about it.

It’s creepy but kinda interesting. Automation coming for social media models. No job is safe.

Liars have to continually come up with new stories because they can't handle the truth.

At least now you recognize your problem. They say that's half the battle.

The Rush Limbaugh's new host ends the show today saying

The republican right, blah blah, America is,

blah blah, "because we have hope"

???

What a Crock!

Since Nov. 4, 2020, They' there no longer is any hope!

That place no longer offers the best option for Hope!


Political bull, string em along, 35 years, line of TRASH,
ehh' you still have Hope!

Wake UP!

Sex robots are for incels.

They have programmed you well.

You would know.

Nope. Not an incel.

Actually, there is no such thing as a female incel.

Not sure that a female can't be involuntarily celibate, but you probably know more incels than anybody on here being a right winger and running your game...

I dont know any incels.

As uptight as liberals are, I'd think they are more likely incels.

( Copy) and Paste)“What is an incel?” you ask.


I am delighted, yet horrified, to explain. Incel is a portmanteau for the term “involuntary celibate.” Though the moniker was initially conceived by a female blogger in a post detailing her frustrations about her lackluster dating life, according to the fleets of lonely men that comprise incel internet communities, an incel must be male. Furthermore, he must be irreparably unfortunate-looking and either a virgin or have not had sex for a considerable amount of time – despite desiring otherwise.


Incels explain away their forced celibacy as an issue outside of their control. They refuse to claim ownership of any personal shortcomings that would result in their solitude. Instead, simply because they “lost the genetic lottery,” they’re rendered helpless outcasts of a cruel, looks-obsessed

(copy and paste)

Never heard of that word, I learn something new everyday.

Try learning this today... donny lost fair and square.

You better do some research, they are almost exclusively far right wing. And I don't believe you don't know any. You probably created a few by shooting them down and making them think you are better than them... truth be told.

Yes. I neuter men by rejecting them.

Automation > Conservatives Fault > Liberals Fault > Sex Dolls > Celibacy


Yep typical DT thread path.

Add in Immigrants and guns and we can shut down the board as there would be nothing left to talk about.

That's called an Eve trolling tangent.

I made sex robots a topic. See you all on Monday!!!

I didn't bring up the sex robots, Swish did.

I'm surprised you didn't post, "Robots will not replace me!"

This may or may not be true,(just stop reading now) Someone was giving me something to read where Sean Hanity, had written a response to where Mark Levin had put out a backstory piece on a book showing Barbara Bush had written a biography which unveiled that Margaret Thatcher in the late 1980's had written what she found of Einsteins' 1950's account of how he had read of Marie Curies' account in biography, of What Mark Twain wrote in his recounting of Henry David Thoreaus' lost piece of his writings on Edgar Allen Poes' then found book on the times of William III the wherein William the third was revealing a biography of Shakespeare, which was actually fakeespeare in that his writings actually were an amalgamation of a couple writers who weren't really writings but they were orally expressed because he was illiterate, but it contained another source and account of where Shakespeare had started a book retelling the account of him reading a book that had been previously found to be of an author who had discovered a biography of a storyteller that was about another storyteller that had written on parchment of the fables of times of the account where a story was told on stone, which had to be burned into the stone, and the story was a recounting of an account of a storyteller who was remembering a story.

So I was reading this story about this guy who was making up a story about someone telling a story.
(I don't know how many that is.
( I was going to put this in son of goofy, but just wonder how long until it becomes obvious never intending to end.

That was seriously one of the craziest 200+ word sentences I have ever read in my life!

You have a way with words. I like the random use of commas -- the way one seems to drip off your keyboard every thirty words or so. It's a bold writing style.

I think you should put this in son of goofy... It deserves it's place in the sun.

I'll say this about automation: It's happening for many reasons.

1. Companies can't find people to actually work.
2. Demand for higher wages for know nothing jobs has worked against people.
3. I do not know of a single company around here that ISN'T hiring. I know of 1 that has even eliminated drug testing. They would love to hire 250 to 300 people. (at a very competitive wage, along with 1 week of vacation upon hiring, 4 personal days, and 5 sick days, as well as paid holidays, health insurance, dental insurance, etc) The jobs are out there - even Mcdonalds is starting people off at $10 an hour. Nephew started out at $9 and hour just 4 months ago - he's at $11.50 an hour now.

Maybe it's just N.W. Ohio - but EVERY company is looking to hire - they just can't find employees. Hell, I even thought about working Sat. and Sunday - 11-5 at $20 an hour for a manufacturing company. Only problem is, I work most Saturdays at my real job.

4. All the .........well, it's too easy now, because of covid and the the unemployment stuff, and the extra money you get for being unemployed.....hell, people are making more sitting at home.

5. Gov't handing out money for nothing will, WILL bite this country in the ass, soon.

6. "Biden Hopes Tax Credit Will Encourage Vaccine-Hesitant Americans To Get One Anyway"

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Wednesday encouraged Americans who do not want a COVID-19 vaccine to get one anyway by reminding them that small businesses can take a full tax credit against paid time off they provide for the vaccination and, if need be, recovery afterward.

“I’m calling on every employer, large and small, in every state, to give employees the time off they need, with pay, to get vaccinated. And any time they need, with pay, to recover, if they’re feeling under the weather after the shot,” Biden said in brief remarks from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next door to the White House. “No working American should lose a single dollar from their paycheck because they chose to fulfill their patriotic duty of getting vaccinated.”

He said conversations with people across the country made him realize that some people cannot afford to take time from work to get a vaccine. “Every employee should get paid leave to get a shot. And businesses should know they can provide it without a hit to their bottom line,” he said.

Under the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which Congress passed and Biden signed into law last month, businesses with 500 employees or fewer can claim a tax credit for as much as $511 a day for paid time off they provide to their employees, up to 10 days for vaccinations and recovery time per employee.

A senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity said a quarter of Americans who say they will not get vaccinated may consider doing so if they know they would not lose money.

“No one should have to lose pay to be vaccinated,” the official said, adding that Biden will call on small businesses — who in total account for nearly half of all private sector employment — to encourage their workers to get the vaccine.

Most large employers already have paid time off for sick days.

A Quinnipiac University survey last week found that 27% of Americans — and nearly half of Republicans — do not want to get a vaccine against the virus that has killed 568,532 in this country and 3 million around the world; 68% said they had already been vaccinated or intend to be.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 213 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have already been administered in the United States, with 132 million Americans age 18 and over, or 51%, having at least one dose, and 86 million, or 33%, being fully vaccinated.

Biden took office with the stated goal of delivering 100 million doses of vaccines in his first 100 days in office, and then increased that to 200 million doses when the early target was easily reached more than a month ago.

Biden on Wednesday also took credit for having ramped up the vaccination rate since taking office, and thanked his COVID-19 team, federal agencies, state and local governments, retired health care workers who volunteered to administer shots and everyday Americans for lining up to get vaccinated.

“This is an American achievement, a powerful demonstration of unity and resolve, what unity can do for us,” he said.

He also urged every American 16 and over to get vaccinated as soon as possible, now that the elderly, health care workers, teachers, police and firefighters have been largely taken care of.

“If you’ve been waiting for your turn, wait no longer,” the president added.




So, I got vaccinated. Do I qualify for getting re imbursed thousands of dollars for getting vaccinated? Or is that just for 'other' people?


When gov't. makes it so damn easy to NOT work, it sucks the life out of someone having the desire to work.

You want to know why automation is here for good? Companies can't find people that will work because it's too easy to not work

If people are making more money on unemployment than they would working, then they never had a real job to begin with. This BS has already been debunked. But it's another Trump era talking point that makes no damn sense whatsoever, yet the bots have strict walking orders to keep spreading the lies.

Trump lost/cost Americans millions of jobs for his crap show of an admin's handling of covid. Biden has helped to recoup some of those but nowhere near enough. Covid is still rampant. One party is full of idiots refusing to get vaccinated. Many red states are fighting common sense tracking of the vaccinated, downplaying new cases of covid, and warnings from the CDC and Dr. Fauci's team. And where companies are trying to hire, these issues lend to the problem of not being able to find help. Additionally, a job that does not pay well is not a real job. 10 or 11 bucks an hour is wage slavery.

There are so many factors in this new post covid economy affecting what people are willing and unwilling to do that even the best economist are struggling to predict the short term future. But a guy like arch has it all figured out... Maybe you should go try to fix some problems instead of crying about them in here, while trying to put a trumpian twist on everything.

There is not 1 damn sentence in your whole post that is factual, true, or even close to it.

LOL right...
