    It’s fine if you have a few things and no one else is using them. These days, you go to the supermarket and you either wait in a long line for people to check out the stuff themselves or you wait on a long line for someone to do it for you. All they did was eliminate jobs.

      That’s awesome. Jobs suck. Nobody likes jobs. We should automate even more things so people don’t have to do work.

        That’s great once we’ve got a UBI or can ditch capitalism entirely, but until then it just means fewer jobs for those that need them.

        I agree with you in principle, but we still have money and bills to deal with. Which also suck, but we still need money for the bills and the nice things we want in life. So we need jobs. Unfortunately.
