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

@NoahB Bingo! You finally got it! Government produces nothing, Corporations and small businesses' produce everything!
NoahB · 26-30, M
@sunsporter1649 lol okay then lets expand on your logic.
How do corporations and small businesses produce everything? By magically wishing? Or is it the workers?
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@NoahB They have a name for it. Capitalism. Imagine that
NoahB · 26-30, M
@sunsporter1649 Ah so capitalism produces things. Wait how does capitalism produce things? Its not even a real place or thing. Hmmmm wait doesn't capitalism require labor from workers? huh! Imagine that
