Wait until private companies jump on board because they will follow and all the non-jobs these career influencers are showing off on TikTok disappear. My sympathies will be with the low paid workers whose jobs will disappear through automation and face the real prospect of never finding a job again.
Automation isn't what will get rid of those do-nothing jobs. Those jobs exist because most DEI hires can't actually handle a productive job. They will go away when DEI incentives do.
The actual productive jobs have been getting hit with wave after wave of reorgs and layoffs since the 80s, so I doubt automation will be any more destructive than offshoring is.
We've hit a brick wall when it comes to automation. Even Walmart is going back to wagie cashiers with how rampant shoplifting is. There's no more road to kick the can down anymore; corpos will have to eat the inflation shit sandwich.
I think those issues with shoplifting has more to do with shit laws in leftist states/cities and a lot of dindus being let off lightly.
Do remember, California just passed Prop 36 which undoes the crap Prop 47 did - Prop 47 is what's allowing dindus to steal "less than $950" and only have a slap on the wrist and let out the next day where they can repeat the crime over and over again. And instead of it progressing to a felony, it stays as a misdemeanor with a $0 signature bond bail.
Prop 36 basically repeals all the retarded shit in 47 and they just elected a DA that is a MAGA-type DA sooooo.... even California is shifting to the right. That's good.
They'll be fine if Trump times the immigration policy enforcement right. But they might go from sitting on their ass to asking if you want fries.
Or collect grocery carts.
For all the talk that robotaxis are Just Around the Corner™, no one has yet to automate this simple problem.
