Every goddamned generation there is some technological advance
Except this time, the technological advances are happening so fast and jobs are being replaced in such numbers in so little time that governments don't have time to adapt. The cost of manufacturing goes down but the price at the store stays the same, the only people getting the benefits of automations are the owners. This is the model that needs to change. Maybe put a cap on the profit, on salaries, something has to happen to balance things out.
Maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy, but wasn't the main character in Wonder Boy... you know, a boy? What's with the mouse, dragon and bird? How is that still Wonder Boy?
Note to car manufacturers: if you add anything related to Microsoft to your vehicles, you'll be eliminated as a choice by everyone in the IT sector and they'll recommend everyone they know to avoir your vehicles too.

How about fuck you, Peggy Johnson? Does that work for you? Or are you also planning Office 365 for bathrooms, since we're also in there for many, many minutes a day? How stupid are you, Peggy?
It also makes no sense to try to sell an ultra-expensive monitor for the low-budget Mac mini. Sure, some people might want that setup, but the Mac mini isn't a huge seller to begin with compared to the iMacs and the laptops.
How about collapsible aisles to maximize the store surface? People just punch whatever items they want on displays at the checkout counters, the required aisle opens up, a drone gets the item and the aisles collapse back together?
To which a troll would reply "How about floating packages hosted in the cloud and brought to you by rainbow-farting unicorns?"

If we're talking about U.S.A. politics and economics, ignorance is a must.

Given the current trend, it's basically a given unless you want to ignore all the facts and the precedents.
If a dozen machines can replace 1000 factory workers, it won't take 1000 technicians to keep those machines running. It's basic math.
You're the blind idiot living in fantasy land.
We're in 2016, we shouldn't be using food stamps anymore. How about food e-coupons?
Even if it's not true now, it soon will be with automation and A.I.
Not really. For every 1000 jobs eliminated, only a few dozens will be created.
Link?
WTF is "-4F"? Stop inventing imaginary units, boy!
People can use bicycles in winter. People already use hybrid/electric cars in Canada and in other countries with cold seasons.
What's the point of your comment again? You've never seen snow in your life or something?

How can the Apple TV be down anyway? It's a device, not a service. I didn't experience any problem watching Netflix with it.
What is "bash unix"? I'll show you:
Unix fucking sucks! There's no games on it and you can't even run Microsoft Office 365 even if you're willing to pay for it every fucking year!

Office 365 on a toaster, you say... hum. Interesting.

There's really no danger until there's over 9000 installations.

It's that thing that failed to compete against the Intellivision and Colecovision, isn't it?
Turning Pac-Man into Ms. Pac-Man took more than 8 byte overlays.
If the update had been released in 2016, the sequel would have been called Pac-LGBT.
I'm leaning toward Overcraft or Minewatch.

Do you want to get Skynet? Because that's how you get Skynet.
Are you saying Walmart employees are zombies?
