If automation is so inevitable that we are just going to bend over and take it lying down without a fight, we have zero chance in hell of saving our environment.
Zero. Chance. In Hell.
We are so weak and lazy we have zero faith in our collective ability to organize to stop using self check out lines to save jobs. But we’re going to cut emissions.
Zero. Chance. In Hell.
We could stop automation in various spaces that impact us negatively using bullying. Because we have been bullied into believing all bullying is bad.
No. If someone is using a self check out line yell at them for costing people jobs that are making us all more poor because that is also Capitalism. Using your money as power is Capitalism.
People say, “But Davin, Automation is inevitable, we just have to enact change in society so we can cope as a society with these inevitable changes.”
OK, it starts with using your dollars to draw a red line where you do not want to accept automation.
Because I look at people bagging their own grocieries in self check out and I ask them why they are working for FREE. Oh it’s more convenient to ring up your grocieries and then bag them????
No it is not!!!!
People get really mad when you throw around the word slave, but that is 100% a slave mentality.
Just stand in line, and demand they open up a register. If no one uses the kiosks they will disappear. One month and nobody uses them they are gone. That is also capitalism.
Oh and here’s a special note from Captain Obvious. Make the employees use the self checkout as a register when they say they have no more registers.
“Oh really? Hey Kid, are you really mad I making this awkward because this is actually going to save jobs, and probably yours.”
Smile. Be courteous to the employee, but tell em’ the truth. The truth hurts.
Go online and give the employees 5 star reviews and complain about about their corporate policy of forcing customers to wait in calculated lines or work as unpaid cashiers.
The only thing these companies are banking on is that that we have a slave mentality and we can be trained to be slaves.
That is not politically correct to say, but it is polirically correct to do. And we call it inevitable.
One guy I went to high school with said fighting automation to the benefit of workers is like fighting against Gay Marriage.
That is how brainwashed and weak we have become. I guess I’m the bully for pointing out that is the weakest analogy I have ever heard from a college graduate. But it’s politically incorrect for me to point out that automation was the Nazi gas chambers, because that is a fact.
Nazi Gas chambers are examples of automation we stopped with bullying our way through a Nazi line.
So when someone says you can’t stop progress in regards to automation, ask them them whom this considers this progress and who does not. Then use the gas chamber analogy because it is PERFECT.
The day after I used it, a Nazi shot up another Synogogue. Remember it is politically correct to label Nazis lone wolves and it not politically correct to point out that houses of worship are the battle grounds in an obvious “Nationalist” proxy war.
The problem is that we have zero fight. You say I am a keyboard warrior? Come with me to a supermarket. I charm the one overseer manning the self checkout lines. Then I discuss this loud enough so everyone hears me as they work like little bees who are convinced it’s easier to just work for the Queen than to question why you are a grown man bagging grocieries.
There was plenty of registers till they cut labor during peak hours then months later pulled out said registers and made stations to train a generation of ambitious volunteers.
Yeah, we’re gonna all work together to stop the icecaps from melting. Not a chance in hell. First tackle something simple like collectively saying no to working for paying to work at Safeway like a f☆cking idiot.
Also interacting with kiosks instead of humans is going to increase suicide rates exponentially. Depression and addiction is in fact related for millions, particularly the elderly, to a diminishing number of authentic human connections and interactions.
Those kiosks are killing people but they are politically correct. But me mentioning it is not.
Because we have been educated not to think at all. We have been educated to take what we are told by our masters at face value.
But yeah, automation is totally trending towards giving us more time to be creative around two jobs.
