Outdated data.

Computer age is different.

If only we had more meaningless jobs to restrain human capital.

****ing technology ruining it for mankind:

I created DicksByMail.com, went viral, and sold the company before even shipping out my second round of orders. AMA

Don't worry though, I'm sure soon we'll be able to time travel so we can send people back here to get a job:

Working Conditions
Simply, the working conditions were terrible during the Industrial Revolution. As factories were being built, businesses were in need of workers. With a long line of people willing to work, employers could set wages as low as they wanted because people were willing to do work as long as they got paid. People worked fourteen to sixteen hours a day for six days a week. However, the majority were unskilled workers, who only received about $8-$10 dollars a week, working at approximately 10 cents an hour. Skilled workers earned a little more, but not significantly more.

Except when it is
Technology has created more jobs than it has destroyed, says 140 years of data

1) Outdated data. Computer age is different. New technologies have created new industries, but everything has changed since the advent of the computer.


2) That shows a problem.

"So while in 1871, there was one hairdresser or barber for every 1,793 citizens of England and Wales; today there is one for every 287 people."

So basically, more and more people are having to squeeze into the same professions, therefore diluting the available profits and potential business that they can have. Because of automation.

You can't keep displacing people and have 1 Barber for every 5 people and expect for the Barber to be able to afford a living.

By getting on welfare/food assistance? Living in your car?

I think the main issue that people are having, is that 50 years ago, having a job meant you could support yourself AND a family. The buying power of that salary was strong.

But due to inflation, the cost of living has skyrocketed, meanwhile their wages have stayed the same.

This is the issue at hand. Which is why, there are people demanding higher wages.

I've met hundreds of people claiming to be scraping by. Almost all of them have a TV, cellphone, and even a car. Most people have dressers and closets full of clothes.

Westerners have the most warped sense of what they believe are necessities. BRB... everyone needs a 4000 square foot house and individual rooms for each of their kids.

Share a house with another family. Live in a van if you're single. Split a house 6 ways if you're single. Eat ramen noodles. Walk to work. Bicycle to work. Have one pair of shoes OMFG. Two pairs of clothes.

If you're single you can easily reduce your monthly expenses to $500. It's not complicated.

We live in an awful time where people have to renew and continually grow their skills, if only the regulators would restrain this unfettered rapacious capitalism.

Yea lets celebrate the elimination of more American jobs

Once again a one dimensional view on a complex issue. First of all the company making the product employees thousands of people. Second of all, food ordering kiosk just as this, are meant to speed up the ordering process so they can handle higher volumes or people. McDonalds documented this fairly extensively showing they actually needed more employees when kiosk were implemented to handle the higher volumes. Not including service/repair for kiosk, the outside vendors being brought in for their specialties and tech lines.
