:snoop:

They're gonna hire less people.

They're putting local store outta business.

:snoop: I can't shop there, anymore.

Notice a bunch of carts had weird little things on them. I thought they were so people could hold their phones. Nope.

Capitalism is crazy.
There greed knows no bounds they dont even pay the workers a living wage smh.

Real talk though. Modern society is way too dependent on technology/computers. This shyt is fragile af if you really think about it.

You know those machines in the bank where you can deposit your own stuff and keep it moving.

I remember when the bank tellers would always tell me "ma am you can use it, let me show you." I always declined.

They use to be pissed at me. Then finally I told them "I want a real person to deposit my money otherwise you won't have a job." After awhile of them pestering me I started to use the machines and the bank is damn near empty.

Smh

A society with out jobs, how can I utilize all this great technology without the funds.

Yo imagine if robots handle our food, our water, and everything in between and then imagine if like a virus or something attacks :merchant:people will literally starve because the system is completely automated and out of our control.

They are preparing for the 15/hr min wage, I just realized the timeline is right around the corner. 15hr is basically ~30k a year in salary. There is going to be alot of disruption, more people on social programs while working only 15-20 hrs a week but hey, gain same amount of money for less hours, frees up alot of time for other important things in life.

Black people need to be focused on building up our own shyt anyway. :yeshrug:
:dahell:

What does this mean?

Oh well, invest your unemployment into mutal bonds and build capital via bank loans to build a business...never mind the million factors that have you working at Wal-Mart in the first place

Black folk; apathy is not a response to our problems
