So now instead of your salary being a multiple of 4 beneath the poverty line it's only 3!!!!

Isn't that great???? Now all you'll need to do is find the stamina and will power to work 16 hours a day and 6 days a week to afford to live behind someone's dumpster

and hey, who knows, with a little endurance and some wild luck you might even be able to buy yourself a hoopty with gas spitting out of the radio to sleep in!!!!

that is of course, until they ban all gasoline guzzlers in favor of electric Teslas you can never afford.

so you better get cracking brah

It's a wonderful thing for fast food kiosk manufacturers

you see, what the dumb fucking morons on left don't realize is that there is an end game to all of this.

Where is AI and robotics being developed? Mostly. California

What is the one of the best business verticals to POC (proof of concept) a rollout of completely automated services? Fast food.

And where is this all happening right now? California


so yeah, right now fast food workers are marveling at the fact that they are making 5 bucks an hour more while smaller chains which cannot sustain such increases fold and larger chains reach the apex of what they can actually charge for their food. conditions ripe for the adoption of AI technology offering a 25% discount to early adopters where fast food chains will be signing up in droves. Driving these very same workers out of a job PERMANENTLY

Odd how the law didn't cover any other business verticals eh? Coincidence, I'm sure.

liberals are so fucking stupid at this point it's annoying to have to share the same fucking planet with them

I won't frequent a business that has replaced workers with AI bots.

Everyone's savings are now effectively worth that much less, confidence in the currency will take the predicted hit.

Not that I expect the average minimum wage earner to get the significance, the dumb fools.

This country is so dumb. Why even go to college. It's just a scam.   My daughter has a 4 year college education from the UNIVERSITY of FL and having a hard time finding a job in her field. The offers she's getting are like right above that.

Do you mind if I ask what her major was?

Exactly - load these poor kids up with debt or drain the parents nest eggs on an education that is utterly worthless to the intended goal. A high paying job.

But see, that's not the intended goal with libtards... it's to indoctrinate younger impressionable minds with anti america and anti morality propaganda

and they make the recipient pay for it.

Ummm well it's sociology degree as she got into law school. That is pending right now. She worked for social services. In order for that to pay she needs her masters.  She got tired of the social work inner city.

In Canada, that would really limit her choices to a few aid agencies or the civil service. And yes, she would need a masters to earn a livable wage.

Unbelievable

I worked full time before,during, and after a year of university in my late teens. Then spent 18 years working in my chosen fields.

In the end, I got 4 degrees given to me for time served/experience that were paid for by my employer and only took a few weeks of evidence collection/interviews/and testimonials from bosses/coworkers.

I was literally better at my job than the assessors with degrees tasked to rate me in my job and I had a position far superior than anything they had ever possessed in their limited careers.

I had even single handedly yet accidentally passed my corporation on a PwC audit back when PwC audits still meant something.

It came down to adherence to methodology and experience from the floor up.

I will strongly insist my youngest pick a trade or tailored short courses when she becomes an adult in 6 years time.

But that may not even be necessary because she's totally unjabbed for anything and just the fact that she's not going to die suddenly and has all her wits about her means the world is her oyster, should the world not Armageddon itself in the meantime.

Same here.  We tried telling her this.  She thinking about getting her teaching certificate.  She also owns her own business and does makeup for weddings on the side which she really talented doing.

It is a very lucrative field.

If money is a priority, do not choose social work.
