fukk man. I always knew it implicitly, but to know that business colleges/universities are basically training centers for future managers, teaching lessons in how to be dikks and effectively normalize the act of ruining people’s lives.
If all the managers coming out of college are on the same page using similar playbooks as a solid group, it just makes it that much harder for the working class to ever improve their conditions because the capitalists have organized via the university system. Meanwhile this sort of esoteric knowledge is kept from the lower classes, because if they knew, they’d fight back.

It's sad, but the fact is, people have become so brainwashed that they've been trained to automatically be more sympathetic to the plight of billionaires before their own brothers. Like I've said before, there's a bunch of "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" among us. nikkas act like if they DON'T side with the rich in all things, the gods of fortune will smite them or some shyt.
Decades later and people still parroting trickle down economics. Smh.

Been had these over here for a while and as a introverted nikka shyts a God send, aint gotta engage in any chatter at the till.
McDs have been testing these for a long time. I first saw them in London back in 2012 before the Olympics. They just recently started using them over here in the US.

approach or surpass $15 nationwide, restaurant customers expecting to be greeted by a smiling face will instead be welcomed by a glowing LED screen.
As of 2020, self-service ordering kiosks will be implemented at all U.S. McDonald’s locations. Other chains, including fast-casual brands like Panera and casual-dining brands like Chili's, have already embraced this trend. Some restaurant concepts have even automated the food-preparation process; earlier this year, NBC News profiled "Flippy," a robot hamburger flipper. Other upcoming concepts include virtual restaurants which eliminate the need for full-service restaurants (and staff) by only offering home delivery.
While some consumers may appreciate the novelty or added convenience, the conveniences come at the cost of entry-level jobs.
My concern about this is personal. Without my opportunity to start as a grill man, I would have never ended up running one of largest fast food chains in the world. I started working at McDonald’s making the minimum wage of 85 cents an hour. I worked hard and earned a promotion to restaurant manager within just one year, then went on to hold almost every position available throughout the company, eventually rising to CEO of McDonalds USA.
The kind of job that allowed me and many others to rise through the ranks is now being threatened by a rising minimum wage that’s pricing jobs out of the market. Without sacrificing food quality or taste, or abandoning the much-loved value menu, franchise owners must keep labor costs under control. One way to combat rising labor costs is by reducing the amount of employees needed.

This trend is nothing new. Chains have responded to rising labor costs and technological advancement accordingly and McDonald's has been leading the way as a pioneer in productivity among employees, concepts, and machines. From the invention of the “Speedee Service System” to the famous Multimixer shake machine, these innovations have reduced the labor needed to increase output levels and made employees’ jobs easier in the process.
These innovations dating back to McDonald’s founding were not intended to reduce the number of employees; rather, they were designed to make employees more efficient at their jobs. The introduction of self-service ordering tablets has been presented in a similar manner. However, with labor costs continuing to skyrocket, it’s inevitable that restaurants and other fast food chains will continuously search for ways to reduce labor costs--particularly as customers get comfortable with new technology.
The research supports my concerns. A 2017 study by economists David Neumark and Grace Lordan finds a minimum-wage related increase in unemployment among employees who previously held jobs susceptible to automation. Younger workers were some of the hardest hit by this outcome, which shouldn't be surprising; according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly half of minimum wage workers are between the ages of 16 and 24.
Pricing young job seekers out of the market and a weekly paycheck is just one immediate effect of an increasing minimum wage. A study by University of Virginia and Middle Tennessee State University economists found that teenagers who held part-time jobs in school had annual earnings that were 20 percent higher than their counterparts without experience six to nine years after graduation.
These entry level jobs such as flipping burgers or taking customers orders teach teens valuable jobs skills such as customer service and applying basic math skills. Skills that could ultimately lead to the career stepping stones for a working teenager to become an engineer or accountant.
Technological innovation can and has helped employees work more comfortably and efficiently, but when outside intervention forces higher labor costs onto restaurant owners, they will innovate in ways that replace employees instead of empowering them.

RIGHT! And you'll notice that cat never replied to me for a reason...
It USED TO BE that a typical young person with a decent work ethic could get a job at Dairy Queen (or the local supermarket, etc) and use that money to strike out on their own. There's a reason why - until recently - there was a sort of stigma about living at home past 18 or so. At one point it was doable...
Those jobs used to afford your average 18-21+yr old the ability pay for - at minimum - a small apartment + expenses and maybe a used car or at the very least, regular public transportation.
And if somebody really wanted to get fancy they maybe worked a second PT job or had a roommate so they could live in a better area, buy nicer shyt - like expensive stereo equipment (or a newer car) - or simply save more. There was indeed a time in the not so distant past where damn near everybody didn't NEED a degree to get by, especially while young.

thankfully most people don't think like the bootlickers here or reddit which is even worse
if you dont have any skills its a wrap for you, brainless labor is gonna be gone soon enough
So be some STEM nerd being underpaid, or outright be dead.....
It's all by design, every last bit of it. Brehs gotta stay woke out here, I see what these Cacs is doing. They playing the long game, setting shyt up now for a play that aint even started yet. Brehs gotta pull double duty and pay attention to the news and the streets on this one. Trump claiming he the law and order POTUS, and they are chasing brehs who doing brazen shyt, but they also dropping the ball (looking the other way) in a whole lot of other areas. They gutted the white collar divisions of the Fed agencies, at the same time that scamming has become a viable option for the hood. Sessions even had a press conference for it, talking bout they want to direct those resources elsewhere because they don't see it as a problem. Yeah right, they just waiting for enough brehs to fall into that lane before they spring the trap. In the meantime the streets is out here feasting right now, this last tax season saw a whole lot of young brehs come up off the finessing. And we also declared the dope game dead prematurely, way to early actually. Heroin is getting bigger every year, Meth and pills aint going no where, everybody smokes weed now, and Coke is back like its 84 again, the quality done gone up and the price is dropping after years of the quality going down and ticket on the brick rising.

Colombia producing more cocaine than ever before, UN figures show
Trump got all the alphabet boys busy chasing Mexicans and just the southern border period, so all they doing now is bringing that shyt back thru Miami. You starting to see them insane metric tonnage kilo amounts getting busted down there on a banana boat on a weekly basis just how it was back in the cocaine cowboy days. Was down there Memorial Day wknd and fell off in the Office, saw them Dade country brehs in there throwing out money in there like it was a early 2000's BMF era strip club party. Starting to see the residual effects in my city too, you seeing that gleaming fishscale again even on the street pitching level, hearing crazy numbers too, sub 30's for the whole one when you aint heard that ticket on over a decade. That's a direct result of those articles I posted, somebody is flooding this country with dope at the same time they taking all the entry level jobs away. IMO I think they doing a Hampterdam from the Wire move, they letting everybody get money and kick they feet back like its cool, then in 5-10 years when the crime rate start inching up and all this dope has seeped up into small town America, they gonna close that trap and throw everybody under the bus. STAY. WOKE. BREHS!!!!!!
