ppl are always like "oooh if you raise minimum wage they'll replace you with robots"

but then if you actually look at the labor practices inflicted on workers by (oh lets just pick a random one here) Amazon. The way they grind workers into a nub, you'll see that no amount of productivity or efficiency will ever be enough for these CEOs. They'll replace you with robots anyway.

Am I mistaken or are there self-checkout counters in every grocery store already?

Folks, we gotta fight for our right to party. screw these CEOs and their little small business owner mouth peices

These companies only have that power because folks choose to work under those conditions.

If everybody told them to go to Hell it wouldn’t be able to happen

@Picklebobble2 they only make money off the sweat and blood of their workers. lets hit them where it hurts huh?
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@NoahB Personally I try not to use Amazon for exactly that reason.

Might sound a bit idealistic but if they haven’t got my business at least I’m not contributing to it

I mean, they're kinda right, but the only ultimate solution is strong social programs like UBI.

@BlueVeins UBI i a good idea but if its based on the current trends of our labor infrastructure and global trades it will make these issues exponentially worse.

@NoahB Which issues?
NoahB · 26-30, M
@BlueVeins abusive labor and oil trading chiefly.
