Nice work liberal MSM. Now even your zombies are starting to question you.
Thanks, Obama!Over the past five years, Amazon created over 150,000 jobs in the United States, growing its workforce here from 30,000 employees in 2011 to over 180,000 at the end of 2016.
Wharehousing, shipping, and packaging jobs should be on the rise with Amazon's success...until automation takes those over too. Then it will all just be robot repair. By that time we'll be working for the machines.Skjellyfetti wrote:No doubt about it.
In reality, manufacturing, industrial, etc. jobs simply aren't coming back. Retail still employs a ton of people... but, for how much longer? The economy has changed and people (and regions) are getting left behind.
Trump has negotiated some jobs to stay or to remain. That's certainly not a bad thing. But, it can only amount to a drop in the bucket.
How long before the machines begin to organize?Skjellyfetti wrote:Yeah, Amazon is putting almost all of their R&D into robotics and automation.
Big deal. I've been putting things in my basket and walking out of Harris Teeter/Piggly Wiggly/BiLo/Publix/Kroger/Ingles for years.Skjellyfetti wrote:And, those RFID chips are how Amazon is going to track items in their Amazon Go stores.
No cashiers. No checkout line. No scanning your shit yourself even. Just walk in, grab your shit, and walk out. It knows what is in your basket and deducts it from your account.

93henfan wrote:My one and only private sector (FUCK THAT SHIT!) job was as a production supervisor with Cintas uniforms. I worked in one of their first "autosort" plants just outside of Philly, and the automation was really freaking cool. Every garment had a barcode inside the neckband/waistband. When stuff came out of the dryers loose, it was thrown in a bin and rolled out to our hanger ladies. They would scan the code, which would put the information in an RFID chip that collared the clothes hanger. Then the hanger would throw the garment on an automated track and it would get routed either through a steam tunnel or to a pressing station if the customer paid for pressing. If a repair was needed (usually a missing button), the hanger would code that and the garment would switch off the rail at the repair station. Ultimately, the garments would automatically line up, by truck, in stop order at the end of the line and our loaders would just pull that truck in and roll the stuff on.
