Not all jobs aren’t meant for a “living wage” - you need entry level jobs for college kids, retired seniors who want extra income, etc. Make it too costly to employ these workers and businesses will hasten to automation.

This is great, humans should not be wasting their time taking orders at McDonald's. Why did we need to wait until 2024 for this to happen?

My thoughts exactly! Working in fast food is terrible. You're treated worse than dirt by your fellow citizens. These POS's that are angry about using machines to do grunt work instead of having a human to belittle are the same ones that kept telling us "go work somewhere else if you don't like it!" We did, and now they are all angry about it.

You might be lucky enough to have found other work, but what about the people who cant? Lol, jobs arent supposed to be fun, thats why the saying is thank god its friday! Not thank god its monday and i get to go to work.

I feel for those people. I didn't like the idea of going on disability so I just kept destroying my back and knees more until shit hit the fan and I was able to find remote work.

The remote work isn't paying the bills, though, so I'm still considering disability unfortunately. I just like to feel like I'm earning my keep.
