A lot of the wahmenz and boomers(or old farts in general) ironically voted for more open borders or policies that allowed shit like this to happen for the past few decades at the expense of younger struggling murrican citizens yet still have the fucking nerve to shit-talk all the younger Millennial men and Gen Z men as being a much of "low-T boys" who are all "self-entitled and too lazy and incompetent" to work and afford a house.
This got me thinking:
Yes, it would be cheaper to automate than retaining employees with the wage hike. But what if those machines, namely kiosks, gets broken let's say every other day? And if those are intentionally destroyed, those that did it barely suffer consequences? Then maybe it's cheaper and less stressful for employers to eat the wage hike isn't it?
This is coming from someone living in the country where transportation, appliances, gadgets, etc. almost only receive function maintenance. Meaning, anything goes as long as its primary function still delivers. (i.e. electric fan stops occasionally, but as long as it can blow wind, its ok)
