Drive thrus are a completely different situation than the lines you go through every where else. Those places just do a scan and go, as they are not liable for those small amounts. Everywhere else though you have different level of computer saviness from the old people who dont know how to enter a number to the less likely younger gen who can get through fast.. Even the self checkout I can can get through 10 times faster than the average user.
that is incorrect. The reader can hold the transaction until the final total is tallied, and then send it after the cashier enters the CC button. Try it at your local walmart, it will work.
Cash is typically faster in 90% of the situation. Very few is any require no signature, and a lot of users have trouble with the machines. If all you had to do is swipe and go it would be faster, but that is not the majority of the cases.
I dont know. There are lots of critical infrastructural that can be affected in a cyber attack. This about what would happen if someone should shutdown a specific power station causing a regional outage like what happened to the north east. Now imagine if that happened in the winter, many people, particularly older folks could die.
If you are making a product at a quarter of what you are selling it for that opens the door for competition. In addition selling an item at a higher price does not necessarily generate more profit. If you are selling that item for 20 and selling 100 of said item making 1500 in profit, but lowering the price to 15 will sell 200 at 2000 in profit what are you going to sell it for?
Several things. If labor costs are 5, and that is the only cost of the widget, as you seem to be suggesting and you are selling it for 20, then more then likely another vendor will start in the industry and sell it for less, forcing you to sell for less to compete. Or you study economics and realize that the highest price you sell your item for is not the price that will generate you the most profit, it is all part of the curve. If you are selling 100 now, making 1500 in profit, but the curve support you selling 200 at 15, making making 2000 profit, what are you going to sell the item for?
That is not what it assumes. First you assume that there is a decrease in the number of consumers, that is not true, and even if there was a price decrease will still lead to a shift in demand from those that still have jobs, which is vastly more then lost them. That extra revenue will lead to expansion and so forth.. If you had read the wiki it points it out in this paragraph
If a firm's technological innovation results in a reduction of labor inputs, then the firm's cost of production falls, which shifts the firm's supply curve outward and reduces the price of the good (limited by the price elasticity of demand[7]). The widespread adoption of the innovator's technology could lead to market entry by new firms, partially offsetting the displaced labor, but the main benefit to the innovation is the increase in aggregate demand that results from the price decrease. As long as real prices fall (or real incomes rise), the additional purchasing power gives consumers the ability to purchase more products and services. With technological innovation, these are often products and services new to the consumer, such as better health care or wireless communication devices and services. This increase in aggregate demand leads many economists to believe that technological change, although disruptive of individual careers and particular firms, cannot lead to systemic unemployment, but actually increases employment due to its expansionary effect on the economy.[8]
Except that you are not even thinking fully. The people who you claim "contribute nothing" actually contribute a lot. They are free testers of your product. It in and of itself is a very valuable asset to have. The people who dont even give valuable feedback should be the target of your ire, not people who do.
First there is no empirical link between the temperature dropping and the weakening your immune system, that could be, and possibly is, an old wives tale. A previous study showed that the people must likely to get sick during the winter are those with already weakened immune systems.
Also the study said it thrives at the following x50 and x is approximately 100, therefore 0-49% humidity falls within those parameters.
I was pointing out why it explains Madagascar, a tropic region, not disputing anything. That it expands at 2 points and drops elsewhere shows logically that it is nonlinear.
The reason it is called air conditioning is not just because it heats and cools your home/work/car is also because it lowers the humidity. This is one of the reasons why you can turn on ice cold air in your car and it will still defrost your windows to an extent.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioningAn air conditioner (often referred to as AC) is a major or home appliance, system, or mechanism designed to change the air temperature and humidity within an area
The virus begins to find itself at home again only when humidity reaches almost 100%. Unsurprisingly, the latter finding explains flu spikes during rainy season in tropical climates.
Why it seems to always be an epidemic in the winter is a new discovery, I mean unless you knew it was about the humidity and did not share with the rest of the world.
Criminals dont go after cops, because they know they are armed. In addition cops general approach unknown circumstances with groups of people, not alone.
Lets also not forget they are heavily armed and trained to use deadly force.
So to ensure your need to feel safe you remove the items that makes your neighbor safe, so you both can get robbed and potentially killed. Great logic there.

So you are basing it entirely off a business where using cash is difficult, that doesnt screw your results does it?

So now we are trying to disprove a fallacy with a fallacy?

If you are doing manual labor then you till probably have a very strong immune system
It could be that as you heat the air in your house the relative humidity goes down, for that exact reason.
First there is no empirical link between the temperature dropping and the weakening your immune system, that could be, and possibly is, an old wives tale. A previous study showed that the people must likely to get sick during the winter are those with already weakened immune systems. Also the study said it thrives at the following x50 and x is approximately 100, therefore 0-49% humidity falls within those parameters.
No one said that heat alone removes humility, a roaring fire in the fireplace will not remove humidity, but that is not how conditioners work.
So it means you have a heater, not an air conditioner. Most people have air conditioners.
What is the point? So, it does not survive as well outside, except in our systems, but it will still thrive in your home.

So you would not get mad and stand up to the people who are invading your right to privacy?
So to ensure your need to feel safe you remove the items that makes your neighbor safe, so you both can get robbed and potentially killed. Great logic there.
If you think you need to be " trained, licensed, regulated" to work as a private security guard you have another thing coming if you hire them.
