Hat's not cool or showing Trump up unless it says MRGA or MARA on it.

Easy to show up Trump when you're privately the richest person in the world.

Easy to be rich when you murder people and steal their money.

Wisconsin factory turns to robots because Wisconsinites are lazy unreliable ****s

Quote:
The line was intended for 12 workers, but two were no-shows. One had just been jailed for drug possession and violating probation. Three other spots were empty because the company hadn’t found anybody to do the work. That left six people on the line jumping from spot to spot, snapping parts into place and building metal containers by hand, too busy to look up as the forklift now came to a stop beside them.
Quote:
The robots were coming in not to replace humans, and not just as a way to modernize, but also because reliable humans had become so hard to find.
Quote:
After an hour the workers were heading back to their cars, one saying that everything “sounds okay,” another saying the “pay sucks.” Bader guessed that two of the four “wouldn’t last a week,” because often, he said, he knew within minutes who would last. People who said they couldn’t work Saturdays. People who couldn’t work early mornings. This was the mystery for him: So many people showing up, saying they were worried about rent or bills or supporting children, and yet they couldn’t hold down a job that could help them.

“I am so sick of hearing that,” Bader said. “And then they wonder why things are getting automated.”
Quote:
Sometimes, Campbell said, he almost thought he was through the worst — sober for weeks at a time — but then came Saturday, when he was supposed to work an eight-hour shift and instead clocked out after three hours, stopping on the way home and downing a 12-pack of beer before sundown.

You see why any kind of welfare state is such a problem for these people. The problem for them is that you can't properly motivate anyone unless they may literally watch their children starve if they miss a shift.

The main problem is that clipping bits of crap to other bits of crap for 8 hours is a ****ty way to spend a saturday and the rational mind rebels against it. Once you've experienced not having to clip crap together for 8 hours its tough to make you do it again.

In China, Vietnam or late 19th century London or NYC everyone knew that clipping crap together for 8 (or 14 hours) was a ****ty way to spend a day as well. A lot of people doing that work either had to do it or someone dies.

It was pretty bad work in Detroit in 1960 as well, but when it paid three times as much in real wages, you really got 40 hours + 2 weeks, got a real retirement, full coverage health care and representation and defense against management you could retain people.

I sense this is heading back to UBI again, but that's just on this forum. In real life the world (outside of Scandinavia anyway) is moving more towards tightening the thumb screws until those wages and terms are acceptable.

JC the propaganda is ripe.

Judge Jeanine: NK is scary and Iran might have nukes. I'm afraid.
Dr Gorka: There's nothing to be afraid of. We have a commander in chief who will keep us SAFE. Just look at the last 6 months...fake accomplishments, etc...
Judge: He's blackmailing us though. Kim Jong-Un is blackmailing the west.
Gorka: Let him try. We have a Man in the White House you do NOT want to try to blackmail.

If you steam easily, do not watch Judge Jeanine's opening statement.

EDIT:

Judge: And what about Debbie Wasserman-Schultz? Her staffer ran off with THOUSANDS of government funds, and she's been awfully protective. Where's her Grand Jury?

Yet in literally every single national election and most state and local elections - bringing back the crappy clippy jobs is PRIORITY #1.

One of the worst jobs I ever had was loading popcorn into boxes in 12-hour shifts. Each box took about 30 seconds - load it, tape it up, push it down the line. Ugh. Slowest time ever.

I had a clippy clappy job that wasn't as bad because at least you had to focus on little bits, and you could try to strategize see how fast you could get at it.

I had some other jobs in the Coca Cola warehouse where I'd lose 10 lbs in sweat a night loading pre-mix cannisters in 90 degrees + humid, and had to deal with life-threatening machinery (I was literally the temp replacement for a girl who got killed by the pallet stacker) and spray caustic acid up on vats as it rained down on my head. Luckily the goggles did more than nothing.

But gun to my head I'd still take those over the popcorn job.

You say you want to pay me 50% of the popcorn job to do nothing, but I also get free healthcare, food stamps and section 8? And those are my only two options? Snap call.

Dubai in case you're wondering. Middle East was first place chosen to visit. Remember the Qatar dispute too.
