We'll all be replaced by technology someday. The drawbacks of technology are beginning to outweigh the benefits. Humankind will eventually invent itself out of existence.

Were they automated out of existence? Or ObamaCared out of existence. If they have 3 sign-spinners and they are 3 of 52 employees, then they will certainly be gone to get below 50.

Definitely. In high school I was a dishwasher at a local restaurant and I was outsourced by a mechanical dishwasher.
I didn't mind really, that's life.

I work in technology, and if I don't obsolete myself every year or 2 and start providing new usefulness to my employer, I am not doing my job correctly.

I'm thinking of 2 particular examples...the pizza sign spinnners and the people dressed up as the statue of liberty for a tax place!

Do sign spinners actually benefit the companies anyway? Just dumb. I'm not going to suddenly turn into a parking lot because I see a guy with a sign.

Kind of... I watch high risk patients at a hospital (mostly suicidal, but some are just fall risk). 1 floor put all patients on a tv so they don't have to pay 1 person per high risk patient. (Big shocker that patients are falling more)

This is basic economics. When pay go up, jobs get automated. Employee costs are so high in CA now that the Golden Gate Bridge has no attendants at the toll booths. It's all automated. With ObamaCare and higher minimum wages it's going to continue.
