Generally speaking, the fry bagger does not replace just one employee for $15, but two, possibly 3. There are many locations where they are open more than 16 hrs a day, and some 24hrs.
And $15 employee does not cost $15 per hour, it is more like $25 with payroll taxes, SS and benefits added on. $30K a year becomes $50K a year.
So that is $50K a year, X the number of shifts.
In reality, having actually worked at a McDonalds, it takes a full employee only during the rush hours to run the fryer and bag the potatoes. So call it 1 to 2 FTEs.
Well, the phrase "MS project told me so" was sort a huge fucking clue mate. Unless you are insulting my intelligence by thinking that was a serious comment.
So was the fact that "2 women can't make a baby in half the time" is a well known axiom about the futility of trying to shorten the timeline of a single threaded task.
Unfortunately, chronic drinkers suffer judgment impairing effects after the alcohol is gone as their body gets more desperate for the addictive substance:
A. The development of multiple cognitive deficits manifested by both:
Memory impairment (impaired ability to learn new information or to recall previously learned information)
One (or more) of the following cognitive disturbances:
a) Aphasia (language disturbance)
b) Apraxia (impaired ability to carry out motor activities despite intact motor function)
c) Agnosia (failure to recognize or identify objects despite intact sensory function)
d) Disturbance in executive functioning (i.e. planning, organizing, sequencing, abstracting)
B. The cognitive deficits in criteria A1 and A2 each cause significant impairment in social or occupational functioning and represent a significant decline from a previous level of functioning.
C. The deficits do not occur exclusively during the course of a delirium and persist beyond the usual duration of substance intoxication or withdrawal.
Seriously, I would never buy from a company that came to me, that goes for online or offline. I do my research, find the product that is best fit and price I can afford.
Not only that, the failure mode for trains is bad enough, can you imagine this thing?
Maintaining a partial vacuum over long distances, how do you protect it from anyone who wants to take a crack at it with something as simple as a pipe bomb?
It probably depends on if she is a Democrat or a Republican.
Hard to tell from her website, her positions are a blend of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. (3rd party site: Republican)
She is running against a Democrat, but it is North Carolina, she does not have to downplay being a Rep, like if she were running in New York.
America’s lethargic economy is due to out-of-control spending, corporate welfare, a burdensome tax code, undeclared and expensive wars, an unsustainable trade deficit, and policies that punish success.
The government has a duty to protect it’s citizens from physical, mental, and financial harm by others, not to create more criminals through a disproportional system of punishment.

As your representative, I will support legislation that replaces the current tax code with a new system based on a low flat tax that is fair for all Americans.
In order to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States, we must eliminate the barriers that make it impossible for us to compete and create a business friendly environment right here at home.
But there are also centrist ideas:
The U.S. Constitution is very clear, our nation should only go to war when the President has received Congressional approval.
America should have the strongest military on the planet, but that does not mean we should be the policemen of the world. The United States has a leadership role to play in the world but that does not always mean military action or intervention.
And libertarian ideas:
America was founded on the principles of limited government, personal responsibility, and equal opportunity for all.
I probably qualify as a "right winger" and I don't know what the fuck they are on about.
So far I have seen:
1. They hired a bunch of people to help curate the trend stream. 2. They gave them guidelines that no one has seen but have been said to be neutral. 3. Some of those people bent the guidelines to suit their personal bias.
So far all can say is "Some people did not do their job well. For that we are sorry, we have re-assigned them/fired them/rewrote the guidelines.
To be honest, in years of using FB, I have never even really noticed the Trending box, it just looks like another ad driven list of links that I automatically ignore.
Is world hunger fixed? World peace attained?
Then quit fucking around with Facebook, Congress, and get back to work.
Back in the 80s I worked cleaning houses after builders were done building them. Mind numbing stuff, and since we could not agree on a music station, we listened to Talk Radio (KSFO to be exact)
Back then it was news, Sport in excruciatingly deep detail, Dr. Dean Edell (where I learned more about the medical problems I would face in 50 years time than I wanted to know).
But not politics. THAT was regulated to the late night hours when they just had to fill the time.
In 8 years I have only run across H1Bs that have been "re-badged" from client outsourcing, i.e. they worked for a company that outsourced to IBM and were offered a job at IBM, or from companies that IBM bought.
With facilities around the world, I know more Americans that have moved out of country to work for divisions of IBM then people that have come to American to work for IBM.
I was just at the IBM Hub outside of Dublin Ireland. I know at least four Americans personally that work there now and their was no shortage of American accents in the lunch lines.

In the long run, we are all dead.
What is your point?
Quite frankly, somewhere along the tipping point, we have enough robots to move away from a scarcity economy.
Very few people will need to work, but some number will want to work.
No that would be Olympia beer:

"Ain't never seen no Artesians..."
It was definitely not War Pigs.
The pigs had not been introduced yet.
And it was more fitting for the opening montage as the protagonist wanders around the town "frowning all the time".
Paint it Black could have been used as well, but the faster tempo of Paranoid worked better with the frantic birds around him.
I went yesterday.
Any movie that opens with Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" has got my attention.
Not sure the people around me appreciated the air guitar and sing along, however...

"Another person who does not understand sarcasm."
Fixed that for you.
If I have 3 women have a baby, it will get done in 3 months.
MS Project told me so.

Then don't buy anything.
Problem solved.

Like communism, with a small "c", it requires the majority of people to not be assholes.
Tragedy of the Commons.
I *think* they are saying he sent compromised phones for them to use.
Which is totally legit, hacking the end user is easier than hacking the technology, and often more effective.

Or Boaty McBoatface.
On second thought, maybe Jagy McJagface.

Saudi Arabia just made major replacements in it's government to deal with the collapsing income crisis.
Most oil countries based their economy on $100 or higher oil prices and their citizens do not want to give up the perks now that it is in the $40s.
I checked, it is at -1.
