A World Without Full-Time Jobs

[missmuffet]

Automated cars???  Well, we will be needing lots more doctors, nurses, undertakers and funeral homes. 

Just think you could go to work and just sit back and relax and do whatever.I think they would be safer than what we have now.Maybe they would not cut out in front of another car or go through a red lights.Maybe they would even use their blinker.Just think of that!!  

 

Automated cars have been shown to have some pretty serious problems. I drove a car for only 2 months, and that was enough, that had a transmission that anticipated your moves. It drove me through a red light into the intersection. It also stopped suddenly before I got to a red light too. Then it decided I needed to drive under 55 mph on a highway. Well under. I had to pull the car off on to the shoulder and wait for it to stop "anticipating" so I could continue on. I couldnt wait to get rid of that car. Automated cars cannot make proper decisions on driving. 

Everything has serious problems at first.

Amen on the hatred of those self service checkout kiosks!    They never work right the few times I tried them . . . I always had something that would jam it up on, "put the scanned item in the bag" even if it was a 12 pack and would not fit! 

Once I thought it over I decided I'd never use one as long as there was a cashier at a register because I don't feel like helping the self checkout folks eliminate more jobs. Yes, I get it that robots will probably take over eventually, but why should I help them do so?

I really like the self checkout stands at the grocery store.I will do it only if a have a few items.I do not like it when someone has a whole cart full of groceries it ties up the lines.One of the clerks told me the other day that people have figured out how to scam the system and get stuff for free.She said they lose a fortune at those self checkouts.

I'm now working at a café ..

we only take cash ..

some people are so annoyed by that we don't have an eftpos machine that they walk away ..

seems using cash is so inconvenient ..  

[missmuffet]

There are a couple of places I go that will only take cash.It seems like cash has become obsolete.I do know that people can get upset when they hand out their card and the cashier says they do not take them.

[aussie_musician]

well .. I've seen that happen at the café ..

some people though do come back with cash from a nearby ATM ..

If I really don't want to go to the bank, I can take a picture of the check on both sides and deposit it from my cell phone......    but I do get email type responses with conformation numbers to let me know if it is ok.......     I would guess she was in a hurry and didn't bother to get conformations...  I've never heard of a place that didn't do that.  Whatever the case you should never write checks on money that does not show up as available on your balance.....  

Yes, my bank allows for the phone deposits too.  AND they send a confirmation.  Everyone should check their bank balance every morning.  I caught a $14,400 error from my cable company a year or so ago; it should have been $144.  The bank had it cleaned up within hours and it didn't cost me anything.  Computers DO make mistakes, folks.

There is a way that seems right to the world , and the ends thereof are death.   This includes a lot of , if not all, technology.    

Obeying the Creator's Instructions leads to Life, not death, and that is His Promise , the Promise of His Word.

Modern 'spin' on what the governments etc have done is deceptive beyond what most can imagine until after 

being Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb, Yeshua Messiah, and granted the gift of LIfe by Yahweh according to His choice and grace in Yeshua.

What does the above have to do with the automation of jobs?
