Cool

Ya there’s really no way to “resist” the future

While I feel bad for the thousands of human rideshare drivers whose jobs are now threatened, I have been saying for years that if you drive for a living you need to start developing back up skills/education/trade. The real blow will be when auto-driving trucks put millions of truckers nationwide out of work. Any job that requires a visual diagnostic, such as repair work, will be very difficult to automate for a long time

But despite that I dislike the automation, my options to resist are

1. Not ever give them a dime - this is a given. I have never used a rideshare unless super drunk and not able to crash at a friend’s house, which is rare, and in that case it’s always Uber because that’s the app I have installed and I hate installing new apps. Otherwise for everywhere else I have a beautiful 2021 Tacoma

2. Vandalize them - lol this ain’t Cali, we have class [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

3. Move - aka run from my problems? Pass

4. Vote them out - never seen them on a voting docket but this option has the most promise I guess

We also are I guess a dwindling area that still uses self-checkout. We have enough honor and community compassion for the “shrink” from self-checkout theft to not put our grocery stores out of business

In fact, the two occasions where I missed scanning a small box of fruit because I didn’t see it buried in my cart, I ran my happy ass back into the store and bought those separately, even though I could have simply gone home since I was already loading stuff in my truck at that point

But past 8pm which is when I tend to get groceries, self-checkout is the ONLY option

Nobody likes the better tools because they don't actually make things cheaper, just higher quality.

Has to be that way because cheaper would spoil the game.

I do not understand the argument made here.

I fail to understand why importing workers that will accept a wage that other workers wont is ok but a tool to make work easier is bad.

one of these exists explicitly to lower wages, the other just makes things easier.

why dont we object to crop dusting, replacing workers walking around the field?

why dont we outlaw trains so the rickshaw workers have more work?

"I know more competition for YOU feels rough, but it's better for the economy."

Says everyone... until we invented the printing press.

Oh I know what the difference is... fury NSFW artists and buzzfeed journalists didn't have to worry before.

NEVERMIND I got it.
