There's no reason you can't build a deep fryer or a grille or whatever into one of those machines, and making a burger or chips is really not that complicated. Lights out manufacturing might have seemed impossible fifty years ago, but it's commonplace now.

Great if you are a franchisee of a multinational fast food empire which fits that sort of food, less so if you are a restaurant that wants to provide at least the illusion of higher quality to justify the higher prices you have to charge. In which case you would prefer to just hire Filipinos at minimum wage *cough cough* and hide them in the back.

The solution is clear. Implement more public housing in Vaucluse and Mosman. Sure, all the captains of industry would have to share with some of us regular plebs, but on the other hand, their staffing problems disappear overnight. Seems like a fair trade to me.

How about instead you allow the captains of industry to bring in a dozen low paid employees from India who will sleep in two shifts of 6, each packed into a shoebox one bedroom apartment near work, who will accept these conditions because at least the pay is way better than where they come from and they might get residency. Also they are a lot easier to bully when they actually demand getting paid.

Luckily Restaurant & Catering Australia is here to help small business owners in cutting government red tape and pushing forward needed reform to create a sustainable industry.

This actually doesn't work well; it comes across as bragging or, yes, a sign of our irrelevance. What's best is to emphasise our positive qualities in a way that only implies we aren't corrupt rather than outright saying "we aren't corrupt:" emphasising that we don't take corporate donations, for example.

Captains of Industry are mad that the greedy plebs are costing nearly half of their business expenses.

Behold the future of Job Creation:



I actually kind of welcome it. It means that I can go to a restaurant and not have to worry about a racist waiter going into the kitchen and telling them that "a dirty mussrat is at our restaurant. Poison him/undercook his food/spit in his food".

On another topic, I was looking for Auspol's opinion on an initiative I came up with. I expect to be absolutely lambasted for it and torn to shreds, because this is after all Auspol.

Basically, what if social media were used in an anti-name-and-shame campaign, for good purposes. Instead of focussing on outing racists, a social media page could be used to identify non-racist employers for the benefit of Aboriginal people. That means they don't have to waste as much time applying for jobs they won't get, and it's a step towards breaking intergenerational unemployment in those communities. Employers could identify themselves, or they could be recommended by other employers, job-seekers, current employees, etc. Cartoon? You'd love something like this, wouldn't you? If you could afford to have employees, I mean. Sorry.

This is a pretty good idea, but could be expanded to any non discriminatory employer. Are you not poo poo to women? Aboriginals? Foreigners? Don't even think "Foreigner" is really a thing? We want you!

The only problem would be a bunch of people going, OH SURE WE DON'T DISCRIMINATE because most terrible racists don't think of themselves as terrible racists and hate being called out on the fact that they're terrible racists *cough*Bolt*cough*.

I'm hoping the threat of having actual indigenous people show up for job interviews will be enough to deter such people. You could even rate workplaces through the website. Higher scores for actually having indigenous people in your workplace, for being recommended by your employees, for being recommended by your indigenous employees, etc, etc. Trip reports from applicants could be a thing also.

I think the main challenges are in moderation, assessment, and administration. Also funding, lawyering, recruitment and retention. But it should be easy to steer clear of defamation and such by submit not publicly posting anything negative.

e: Seriously, Auspol, tear my idea to shreds already. You're all like the ultimate black hat, and I need your input.

It gets a bit reaching by the end, but this http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm has a good take on where mass automation would be easier to get a toehold. The tldr is that it'd be much easier to automate the middle managers out of a job. Whether that happens or not though is another question.

These captains of industry have a hard time getting a website built so if they think they're gonna automate customer facing service as a response I think they're a bit deluded anyway.
