Kopijeger posted:Not only did he draw humanoid robots instead of a more plausible setup with mechanical arms and conveyor belts, they are also wearing polos and caps instead of simply being painted in the appropriate livery. Our studies have shown that customers are 45% more likely to respond positively to the 'meal' upsell if there is interaction with something appropriating a human physiognomy. Therefore, we have compromised, and given our Robotsentatives a face resembling a 1939 Mercury coupe.

The last one isn't that funny but I'm glad there's at least one cartoon about Trump's ridiculous "following behind in a golf kart" thing.

Kaxxco shows you the terrible mediocre horror that being a Scandinavian millennial is. You don't fart around at the hut you bought, you don't complain about your lovely feet while having an apartment on the Lower East Side and you don't hang out in a hvoren Nemi driver å diller med Syan og ungen.

I like how these idiots truly believe a complex robotic system that can take orders, prepare ingredients, cook and serve food with any degree of reliability is somehow cheaper than paying a teenager who doesn't yet have enough self worth to know how they should be treated as a human being 15 bucks an hour. You'll be paying way more just maintaining the robots every day. I worked as a shift manager in a cookie factory for five years, because my life is great like that. Sometimes people would take a tour of the factory, and the one comment I'd hear all the time when I'd show them a certain aspect of the process was "Oh wow, I thought machines did that bit!". We had a bunch of high tech machines, but there were certain things that only a human could do reliably. When one of the machine broke down, the entire production came to a halt until it was fixed. Even with advanced robotics that a cooperation like a global fast food joint can invest in, the expense alone just isn't worth it. Even at 15 an hour, humans are cheaper, and incredibly expendable. It won't be that way for long, I'm sure. We are on the precipice of an age where robots are cheap and ubiquitous and human labour is made obsolete - but when we get to that point, it won't be because "the minimum wage is too high", It'll be because even for pennies an hour humans just won't be worth it.

All these cartoons saying "shut up about minimum wage or they'll just build robots to replace you!" seem to forget that technology usually becomes cheaper with mass adoption and maturation. When it becomes profitable to replace a $15/hour worker with a burger making machine, it'll only be a matter of time before it starts threatening people with lower wages.

I'm not sure why all of these poltical cartoonists are worried about robots taking away Bagger or Fry Cook jobs when they'll probably be the first to go. I'm mean poo poo, with photo edits you could probably make a drunkie duck cartoon without ever paying him again.

Something like mezzacotta, except with snooty Obama, cackling Hillary, generic Democratic donkey, and gigantic bumper sticker for characters, and for dialog a Markov chain of "DEBT", "squirrel appreciation day", "liberals liberals liberals", "radical islamic terror", and "coal jobs". You make that and then you get one Pulitzer every year; guaranteed.

They also forget the God-given right of all Americans to abuse and harass minimum wage employees in the service industry knowing full well they not only have to take it, but smile too. If $15/hr happened it would just be another bludgeon for the "I wanna see the manager" types. Abusing a robot just wouldn't be the same, they have to know they're ruining the life of another human face to face. Yes, I did work in retail for years, how did you guess?

She lead with "we're going to put a lot of coal miners out of a job" - specifically stating that her policies were going to be doing it, not general trends. (Of course, general trends are killing the coal industry.) She should have led with "we're going to create job training programs" and then explained how the coal industry was faltering. The loving sentence directly before that loving quote and the loving sentence that came directly loving after it, you loving idiot posted:So for example, I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country.

Grab a hand full of  images and write a program to put them together randomly and fill the word balloons with GOP talking points snagged from the Internet.

Baathists are fascists, plain and simple -- right down the racial supremacy and genocide. Also, I don't think massive suppression of the Shia majority or waging a religion tinged total war against Iran qualifies as secularism. Guy really doesn't have a clue.

I can't call myself an expert, but it seemed to me that Saddam suppressing the minority was more of a racial/political move than one based on religion. They'd use hatred of "the other" to whip people into a frenzy, but it's not like there were religious police who would arrest citizens for apostasy (at least, not that I know of). Certainly they were less religious than Iran or Saudi Arabia.

I mean speaking from experience, Janitor/Bagger/Insert lovely job here SHOULDN'T be inflicted on the young or helpless. These are jobs that are already being replaced in Kroger/etc and are only still around because the technology isn't perfect, old people demand the ability to order around and get uppity at a human cashier or temporary uniformed servant for the sheer power of it and/or the workload isn't helped by automation because there's a loving wave of customers constantly crashing in treating the local super market like a sky-mall. The future is already here and it isn't as effective nor benevolent as we hoped. But lovely political cartoonist doesn't believe the people ACTUALLY WORKING HARD sweating and doing manual, demeaning labor should get that extra money because then they'd have to see a mechanical slave instead of one of flesh and blood at McDees!
