Liberal policy putting an entire industry out of work

[PaintMyHouse]

If it weren't for the greed of liberal unions, these people would still be employed. Instead, they will now go from low-paying (but good jobs - complete with exceptional benefits) to no jobs with no benefits.

McDonalds recently went on a hiring binge in the U.S., adding 62,000 employees to its roster. The hiring picture doesn't look quite so rosy for Europe, where the fast food chain is drafting 7,000 touch-screen kiosks to handle cashiering duties.

Do they have an iPhone app? I hate dealing with the counter people.

And the concept is called Creative Destruction. Learn it.

What is it about some people like you that have great joy in hearing about bad news for working people? You must have a crummy, sick life if this is how you get fulfillment.

How do you figure I have "great joy" in this? I'm disgusted that liberals are putting the entire nation out of work so as to ensure a growing voter base of dependents on the government plantation.

The real question is, why do you get so angry at people exposing the failure of the Dumbocrat Party and take such great joy in defending them from their own failures?

It's depressing to watch rightwingers trying too hard.

 

[P@triot]

Yep, liberal elites. Those billionaire liberals with their global Marxist agenda. Billionaire liberals are going to turn America socialist and give up their fortunes to poor moochers on food stamps, because billionaire liberal socialists hate free-market capitalism.

Republicans are smart.

Smoke some more chief, I don't think you're quite dumb enough yet....

Marxist/Socialists/Communists don't give up their wealth - they expect you to give up yours. Do you really believe that Vladimir Lenin wallowed in poverty? Do you really believe Fidel Castro swore a vow of poverty?!? Let me guess - a YouTube video you watched while stoned which said that Joseph Stalin gave his fortune to the people?!! A liberal believes that the rules they demand for others doesn't apply to them

It's why Al Gore travels around the world in a private jet and owns multiple homes running heat and a/c around the clock while screaming about "global warming".

It's why Barack Obama sits on tens of millions of dollars as his aunt lives in poverty and his brother and nephew wallow in extreme poverty as he screams to the world that we need to be "our brothers keeper".

You are the poster child for the Dumbocrats. A stoned "useful idiot" who is too high to see the forest for the trees. Now go watch some YouTube videos and use them as you're source for "facts" and information...

It's comical watching Dumbocrats frustration at not being able to deflect the blame they deserve but so badly want to avoid. You haven't been able to make a co-here to rational argument since Obama took office (which is why all you are left with is "the right-wing tries too hard").

how are "liberal" policies hurting workers? and how is it "greedy" to think people should be able to pay their reasonable living expenses if they work full time? given macdonald's profits, and the extraordinary salaries paid to its top management, i'd say the problem is more corporatist greed.

but I understand the right hates working people

 

[rightwinger]

Self check outs are kind of an experiment. Some places embrace them, others don't. There are positives and indeed negatives that go with self check outs. We'll see how well McDonalds does with them.

Soon you will order through a smartphone app

If only workers would accept lower wages, we wouldn't need this modern technology

Marxist/Socialist/Kenyan/Communist billionaires make everyone else give up their wealth to the wealthy Socialist/Martian/Communist billionaires?

Yeah, maybe it's the weed or because you're a Conservative, but I can't understand what point you're trying to make.

Rich people run the world, not hippie liberals. Billionaires aren't hippie Communist liberals. They're "neo-liberal". Look up the term. Poor people aren't the problem. Rich people are the problem. You say it's "class warfare" to fight back. It's already a class war and the rich are winning. You are on their side for some reason, like they're ever going to show you any favors. They're not. There's a 99% chance that you're not in their special club and you never will be.

geesh; rather than whine like crybabies; you'd think if left-wing losers say it's all about the greed; that left-wing nutjobs would buy Mcdonalds franchises; they are FRANCHISES; and hire all those poor people they claim to be the righteous defenders of; and pay them that "living wage" they keep talking about

but no; left-wing losers would rather whine like babies on message boards

It's usually a sign of mental illness when one constantly contradicts themselves.

You state that liberals are putting an "entire nation" out of work...where does your article state this fact?

Pssst....the part where it says they installed 7,000 machines to take your order (seriously man - you should really read the article before commenting)

You state that liberals are putting an "entire nation" out of work...while posting the hiring of 62,000 American workers.

Pssst....the part where it says they installed 7,000 machines to take your order (seriously man - you should really read the article before commenting). Plus, the educated (I know, that immediately eliminates you) knows that they just announced over 800,000 people just gave up and left the workforce in April because there are no jobs thanks to Dumbocrats who punish effort and success and reward quitting and failure.

You state that, "liberals are putting the entire nation out of work so as to ensure a growing voter base of dependents on the government plantation."

Europe has a Democrat government plantation...please post the link?

LMAO! You don't know that? You think Europe is a bastian of free-market capitalism and freedom?!? You truly are a special kind of stupid, aren't you?

I don't see any whine there but yours.

and your comments aren't anything but brainwashed rightwingnut talking points.

now run along and go listen to the oxycontin junkie.

 

[P@triot]

Are e-mail, texting and Internet forums due to Liberal policy?
Technology waits for no one.
BTW Auto-Cashier machines work rather poorly.

E-mail put people out of work?!? That's funny, it seems to me that it created jobs (programmers who build the software, Exchange Administrators who maintain it, etc.).

Texting put people out of work?!? And how exactly did it do that?!?

And that's exactly my point...automated kiosks will not dramatically increase unemployment.
Unless, of course, all of the back room jobs are off-shored or go to a fresh new batch of a few million business visas.

Actually, that wasn't your point at all. Now you're just trying to take credit for my point to cover up your previous comment which was way off. How did texting put anyone out of work? I'm still trying to figure that one out.

 

[Trinnity]

It's to be expected. People just priced themselves out of the market. American liberals will have to stop glorifying European style wages and benefits.

Sure, what right do Americans have wanting affordable health care, decent wages, two or three weeks vacation a year.

Thanks to ACA and Mr. Obama's policies, that isn't going to be possible. Get informed and see which party is really tearing down opportunity in America. It's heartbreaking to see you and others like you be so ill-informed and vote for these destroyers of the American dream.

And shame on the RINO's for going along with it.

[MENTION=3135]jillian[/MENTION] - I have asked a 1,000 liberals this question and none of them will answer. Will you please tell me what constitutes "reasonable" and who got to make that decision for all of society?

I have never met a liberal that didn't think "reasonable" meant HD plasma tv, iPad, BlackBerry, brand new automobiles every 3 years, and at least two extravagant vacations per year.

The fact is, a minimum wage worker working full time can more than "pay their reasonable living expenses" - but since liberals are greedy and entitled, they waste their money on frivolous luxuries and then expect society to pick up the bill on their necessities (healthcare, housing, food, etc.).

but I understand the right hates working people

Then why is it that the right creates jobs so that we have working people while the left destroys jobs so that everyone is beholden to the government plantation?

If only liberals would stop being so greedy and entitled, the need for "modern technology" wouldn't be accelerated to the degree that is has.

When you have Dumbocrats popping off at the mouth that the minimum wage should be immediately moved to $25.00 per hour, that tends to cause a panic among business owners who then take immediate action to protect their interests.

Funny thing about you liberals - you always demand of others what you yourselves are not willing to do (Obama demands that we all act as "our brothers keeper" while he sits on tens of millions of dollars; Al Gore demands a "green" planet while flying around the world every day in a private jet and heating/cooling multiple homes that he's not even living in; and so on).

If you want "affordable health care, decent wages, two or three weeks vacation a year" [MENTION=37315]jasonnfree[/MENTION], then why don't you start your own corporation and provide those things to American's? Because you want someone else to do all of the heavy lifting while you enjoy all of the benefits of that heavy lifting. See how that works?

Game. Set. Match.

 

[Howey]

Bullshit. Really. Bullshit.

I don't have any of the above.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Human labor will never be cheaper than automated labor. Unions have absolutely nothing to do with it. That change is coming regardless.

Pretty much this. Although demands for higher wages may speed up the process.

No, I am not in their special club, and I am not in your special club of liberal/socialist know nothings. But, I defend your right to your club, and I defend the right of the millionaires and billionaires to their club.

If you wish to fight against the millionaire/billionaire club, it would be a damned good idea to quit playing into their fight plan. Instead of continually pissing into the wind, you might consider either turning the boat, or moving to the other side.

The super rich will always win a class war, especially when they have dumbass opponents that can be easily convinced to limit their fights to the middle class. You don't hit any of the super rich with any of your volleys, but you are tearing up the upper middle class, and most of you are too damn dumb to realize that you are fighting the wrong people.

Even if you redirect your aim, you will still lose. If you start to hit the super rich, they will simply move somewhere else, and continue to laugh at your efforts.

Bed wetters destroy everything they touch.

From our once thriving steel industry, our auto industry, our health industry.

These parasites won't rest until the US collapses the way their beloved soviet union collapsed.

I'm just going to giggle if an American Putin comes along after the dust settles and hammers them back down, because none of us will lift a finger to defend them.

Everytime someone accuses you of something you are guilty of you ask "how" instead of offering a rebuttal. Thats how the guilty respond.

Me: You took the money

If you didnt take it: No I didnt
If you did take it: How do you figure?
