Those things already exist. I went into a new McDonalds that had those big touchscreens to order a while back. Worked well. I can't imagine they will have the old system for much longer, unless minimum wage goes down to something like $1 an hour. There were still humans giving you the food and making the food, and I can't see that changing any time soon.

Most people hate those things and refuse to use them. Turns out a lot of people like interacting with a person.

Fast food restaurants roll out touch screen interfaces every once in a while, but they don't tend to last. Part of this is that a lot of people prefer the human interaction when placing an order, but the other half is that the people who don't prefer human interaction prefer pre-ordering via app rather than waiting until you're in the building. I'm sure that as culture and technology shifts eventually they'll hit a time when robots are a viable way of placing orders, but that hasn't happened yet

Its simple all you need is a robot that can draw a circle and inside it write the thing they like(trump, guns, loud fast cars) or that they hate (gays, fair pay, poors) and then label it on top good or bad accordingly.
I surmise we can replace all political comics with this tech by 2020.

The message is clear: Don't ask for a fair share of the wealth of the nation, plebs, or we will replace you with robots.

But this time is delivered by a cartooonist that either has internalized the fascism corporation messages, or he himself is profiting from the exploitation of other people and want that to continue.

It really annoys me that people will yet at the unemployed to do any work and then in the next breath mock anyone in the service industry.

...and then in the breath after that celebrate the looming automation of the service sector.

It says a lot about the social circles I run in that I'm pretty sure this is the first actual unironic opinion I have seen or heard against the new Doctor Who casting

And now the 'just loving repeal Obamacare' bill is dead because Murkowski, Capito and Collins all told the GOP to go gently caress themselves because they wouldn't let women into the working group to draft any of the bills.

Wait, what the hell. How did they try to dress it up if at all?

The "they wouldn't let women into the working group to draft any of the bills" part, genius.

quote:

"Nobody’s being excluded based on gender," McConnell said, pointing to an hour-long lunch of Senate Republicans on Tuesday where health care was the main topic of discussion. "What you should write - we’re having a discussion about the real issues. Everybody's at the table. Everybody."

"Trump, Made in America"

‘All hat and no cattle’ is an old expression often applied to someone who is full of hot air. Such a person may loudly brag (big hat), but lacks accomplishments (cattle) to back up the braggadocio. In the case of president Trump, he was given a gift of a custom-made cowboy hat called “El Presidente.” The hat fits and he’s wearing it because he has already accomplished a great deal only six months into his administration. A pipeline deal, appointing a Supreme Court justice, bringing jobs back to America and better trade deals starting with the cancelation of TPP. He pulled out of the Paris Accord because it wasn’t in America’s best interest. He has humiliated the Deep State fake news media—particularly CNN. He’s an ‘America First’ president, and that’s refreshing.

More progress needs to be made. Plans for the wall are underway, but we also need to end Obama care. Not modify it or replace it, but rather get rid of government interference in health care altogether. Let people again choose (or not choose) to buy their own insurance. Returning health care to the free market and private sector is the only way to open up competition and drive down prices.

A lot of work remains when it comes to draining the swamp. The Deep State needs to be uprooted. The CIA has way too much power. Break them up. Eliminate the NSA. Remove the pedophiles and satanists from power. Audit and end the Federal Reserve. End the income tax and IRS tyranny.

Oh—and don’t forget Hillary. LOCK HER UP!
