Record 4.3 million people quit their job in August :wow:

Yes get a trade plumber, electrician, HVAC and then start your own business after a few years.

This. What is so wrong with leveling up by acquiring a skill?

I spoke to the range of $11 to $17 an hour. You choose to focus on the $15. And just like where I live doesn’t represent the whole story neither does where you like.

It's called average for a reason.

If the businesses aren't making a lot of money then it makes sense to reduce costs. You keep focusing on the upfront cost like it's coming out of pocket.

You do know the government is still handing out EIDL loans like candy right? And that some franchises like McDonald’s will put up the upfront costs for you right?

But let's use your numbers since you are so stuck on where you live.

"The average Fast Food Worker salary in Mississippi is $19,918 as of September 27, 2021, but the range typically falls between $18,015 and $23,015."

Using the average, If I have 20 employees and reduce my work force by half (10). That saves me $199,180 annually. If my upfront cost to get the equipment is $200,000. The investment pays for itself within a year. Including the additional costs of employment over the next 5 years there after I net almost a million dollars.

You don't even need to be fully automatic to see a major impact which is why you see kiosks in McDonald's now (at least where I live).

You're still overlooking the most important aspect in all of this in that the technology just isn't there yet for full on or even partial automation to take place. Having the money to make it happen means nothing if the technology to do so just isn't there right now to do it.

If the technology was there, then restaurants and other industries wouldn't be out here begging workers to come back now would they?

People are acting as if we're 5 or even years away from automation taking place when that's just not the case. Even then, those jobs are going to create new jobs in its place that don't necessarily require special skills to do it.

Ghost Kitchen's aren't automation though. That's more so restructuring.

Even then, it's creating more jobs to replace the ones that went away as it requires delivery drivers to get those orders out to customers. Picking up groceries is the new wave, but you need more workers to help pick the items in order tomeet the demand.

Once one job goes away, more are created in it's place.

Right jobs as contractors not employees...big difference. Most restaurants use a service like Door Dash or UberEat. There are no benefits, limited rights and no guaranteed income. The restaurants & delivery services pass on the expenses to the driver (gas, vehicle cost & maintenance etc) and the consumer (additional fees).

Huge win for restaurants

Until automation or Ghost Kitchen's fully kick in, those restaurants and service industries are going to have to increase the pay and working conditions for their workers. If not, either get the automation popping or close up shop as workers could care less of whether you got the money to pay them a livable wage.

That's the owner's problem not theirs.

robbin season coming soon

Time to gone head and get that CCW...

 

[Uno Venova]

Get that power back, workforce

 

[Unolove]

I’m a smart man…if I’m making say 800 a month not working in school why would I cut into my study or free time for an extra 200 bucks which is what I would get from a 10 dollar an hour job

 

[Uno Venova]

Say what you want; these vax mandates ain't helping.

This is coming fasting than we thought;

yeah in like 15 years

 

[Bryan Danielson]

People don’t want to work for pennies while billionaires earn record profits.

Maybe


But “WANTS” dont keep the lights on and put food on the table

 

[O.Red]

People been hinting at this for years. These high turnover jobs with low wage, bad benefits and heavy workload are bad for the economy. Due to inflation everything going up except wages. Who would want to work these demanding jobs when the income is not livable in today’s world and outweighs their expenses. You in poverty living check to check. People talking about robots like McDonald’s can barely keep the ice cream machine working. What makes you think they gonna be upkeep multiple expensive robots in multiple locations. That’s not even logical.

That's the point I keep stressing about automation

At some point it becomes diminishing returns if people dont have money to spend on the services being automated

 

[O.Red]

Ive been seeing this bullshyt my whole life. If robot workers were viable they'd be out NOW.

Nikkas think Iron Man about to take their jobs like that shyt don't cost 50 employee salaries worth

You got businesses out here that can't even afford up to date equipment, yet people in this thread think that they will be able to afford automation and robots
