No, they're guaranteed to have less work hours available across the industry is all. There are a variety of ways that they can manage that from the employee side since they already benefit from collective bargaining.
Of course, they can't exactly threaten to strike over it, because then they lose their jobs for sure.
Teamsters is going to have some difficulties organizationally in accepting their new role where they don't have a lot of power, and any power they do have is purely based on good will and diplomacy. Good luck to them on that, from the sound of the story they need it!
What I like about it is, there is no indication which end of the ramming the users are being prepared for. It is a very accessible phrasing for being so personal.
Sen. Merkley is cut from the same cloth, but he doesn't have as much experience yet. And perhaps isn't as smart as Wyden, who is the rare politician that really could have been a world class (almost anything). Merkley follows Wyden, for the most part. It keeps him popular.
Its all because we have functioning direct democracy at the local level. It changes voter expectation in a positive way. We even have a few decent congresscritters, er, Representatives.
I'm not going to click your spam link, but why not add an idea with your spam next time? If you comprehend the point you wanted to see made, it would even be easy to do!
Right, I talked about what Jesus said and you got confused and started talking about contemporary Church dogma which isn't even the same topic. It makes you unable to communicate usefully.
Jesus is only quoted a few times in the Bible, it takes all of 5-10 minutes to read all the things he's actually known to have said. And you won't find anything about the Trinity, a belief only invented a few hundred years ago!
They do that at night with the liquor store and smashing the window in, but then they get caught and insurance pays for most of the damage.
This part is neither new, nor theoretical. There are places in the world where it is a real problem, and in the US it is mostly not. It happens, but there is a system in place to mitigate it.
The simple fact is that increasing the minimum wage is a huge boon to businesses like restaurants and small local stores.
A business like a national brand "dollar store" is going to automate first, because they're the biggest and have the lowest potential losses. The maximum amount you can steal from them is much lower, they don't need it to work as well, and they're big. So they can adopt it first.
Are customers going to pay to go to a restaurant that is just a vending machine with tables next to it? Those have existed for decades and they don't attract many customers who would otherwise buy a restaurant entree.
What is a retail employee at a dollar store even adding to the transaction? I mean, seriously, please don't have a conversation, there isn't time, you'll hold up the line.
Businesses where the employee is adding value, such as restaurants, will not only survive but grow. Fast food might turn into vending robots. Maybe convenience stores, too.
I've always hated it if I have a graphic arts hat on, and yet when as an amateur photographer I end up rendering to jpeg in the end.
We need a new format, then we need to wait 10 years for The Store Formerly Known as Kinkos to buy "copiers" (printers) that support the format, and we'll be free of choosing between TIFF (80M file size limit and lack of compression support on most public printers makes this unrealistic), PDF with embedded JPEGs, or JPEG.
For internet use of course the thrash rate is much higher. The need seems less though, monitors already display as much bit depth as they are capable of.
A better format is a much bigger deal for print than web.
Something like a restaurant menu has to be printable on standard digital printers at a local print shop.
You clearly don't realize it, but it is entirely possible that the banking industry grew at the same time that productivity was increasing, and that the absolute number of jobs for bankers was going up even as the percentage of total jobs represented by bankers is going down, and that there has never been any sort of employment crisis in the industry through these changes.
The computer isn't going to be sitting there going, "awwww, shucks, how cute!" at your kids and being distracted. It is just going to count how many items they grabbed.
And probably charge you for some percent of the things your kids picked up and put back down, and it will be your responsibility to identify those items and request a refund, and then if the item is found during the next inventory to still be in the store, you get a refund, and if not, then a human reviews the camera footage of your trip to see if the item went into your cart, or on the floor, or in your child's pocket.
Fooling the AI is more likely to result in overcharge than undercharge. And it might not be as easy as just being afraid of children and presuming they ruin everything, the AI might just not care.
The hard part isn't just fooling the AI, it is doing it in a way that doesn't cause the AI to detect that your signal is problematic and flag you for human analysis. The human can watch you for a bit and easily see you're playing some sort of "game" and ban you, even if they can't figure out your scam. This is going to be so much harder than doing the same thing in a store right now, with only humans to fool, and where they don't have all the shoppers authenticated and so have to catch thieves "live."
Having people available to ask for help reaching high shelves is not a sign of being accessible, that literally means that it is not accessible for those people. Duh. You need to back off and ask what accessibility is about, instead of reaching off-hand conclusions and presuming that they must be informative.
It is going to be exceptionally easy when they find the bag of sand to just press a button and view the video of "last time the weight of this item fluctuated" and see who you were. You have to authenticate to gain access to the store.
Idiots wave their hands and imagine video-game quality theft schemes, these tweakers will get arrested after the first time they manage to steal somebody's identity and make it into the store.
You have to be basically illiterate to think that a current "self checkout line" is using the same technology as this Amazon store. The amazon store uses surveillance technology to watch you. A "self checkout line" uses an employee to stand around and "watch" a large number of customers, and experienced thieves can simply pay attention to what that employee is doing. The cameras are for live viewing and evidence, they're not using a system of auditing what you bought afterwards. With the Amazon store they know who everyone is, so if there is missing stock they can go back and actually figure out who removed it from the shelf, and then just cross-reference if you were charged. You bring home 10 beers, think you only got charged for 8 because you only wrote down an 8, but then it gets corrected later and if you're literally trying to hide it under other stuff you might even get arrested; or worse, banned from the store.
The business morons always make this type of prediction.
Locally, they said that increasing the minimum wage would destroy the restaurant industry, but in reality poor people spend a higher percent of their income eating out, and the dollars spent at restaurants increased!
Retail workers spend a higher percent of their pay on retail spending than most workers, because they make less money. Increasing the minimum wage increases retail spending on the types of items that are going to be the biggest "walk-in" sellers.
This has very little to do with the economics of retail, and everything to do with Amazon's warehouse technology and efforts to make money off it from other industries.
Robots are cheaper than humans, but does a robot company spend its pay on your product? Maybe if you're making yachts. But if you're selling milk and eggs, employees actually spend a good chunk of their pay at work. The robot has to cost 25% less just to break even, and that is if there are no other disadvantages.
For stores like Costco that focus on B2B this is likely the future, but perhaps not for most of retail.
I suspect this is true and on the road to success it will have some rough patches where it commits lots of fraud and falsely charges people for reasons that nobody can provide a valid explanation for.:)

Great plan! You can start by looking up the word "giving," and see if you're then able to answer his question.
I can counts to 2? I can haz cheeseburger?

Ask the US Navy about how hard it is keeping submersible equipment functioning in that sort of environment.
You'll find out the US Navy does it all the time, they're really good at it.
Also, this isn't theory. There are real devices that exist. No need for imaginary straw men, Chicken Little!
And run down to the ocean and take a look, civilians are operating equipment in the water all day.
Having to ask a human for help is "0% accessible," in your scenario they perform exactly the same as what you're promoting!
Maybe you have no idea what accessibility even is, and this isn't actually a good issue for you to raise?
Says anonymous cowherd, who is literally a nobody! lol
Nobody cares what the cops think or want or claim. The State Legislature will determine the rule in consultation with the DMV.
But automation has become so cheap that it is now an option that can be applied to almost every minimum wage job, including jobs in restaurants.
You don't understand the technology, and you don't understand the conversation. You don't understand why there are waiters.
Machines that can vend food are not a new type of automation.
They do that at night with the liquor store and smashing the window in, but then they get caught and insurance pays for most of the damage.

That's because they didn't make a movie based on the book Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut... yet!
