or, you know, make them not shit?

We need a bureau that just gets rid of other bureaus

I was afraid he was going to expand them FDR style...

Cull the alphabet soup

I don't know how to approach that fucking lunatic analogy

FIRST START was also great.

I mean my education was in ME I ended up working mostly in heavy industry. Now we get these guys who have "I went to jail" tattoos. We teach them a trade and how to take care of their family. That did not happen a few years ago.

Wish Oregonians had that kind of work ethic. Back when I was working warhouse, manager was interviewing this guy, and he said they were almost done, up to the bit where he needed to provide criminal history. He said dude said he had to get something out of his car, then drove the fuck off.

in fact most interviewees either never showed up or never came back

Well, I mean, Pacific NW. My little sister moved up there and became a plumber. Then she became a lead. RN her company is trying to keep her because they gave her an instructor offer at the local trade school. But she has the normal MidWest work ethic...

Warehouse wanted to keep me because I was there long enough to have learned all the floor roles and even some office operation, but I needed to get the fuck out of Oregon, and that job would have killed me eventually

no fucking priority from main branch for maintenance, constantly under-capacity regarding employees, absolutely no climate control

the pay was fantastic, but also being taxed at Oregon rates

Your sister no doubt shared the gorey details about that

its not exactly something than can avoid mention for long

yu guys wanna pway sum mimescwafts?

okay... but what's the customer price per unit?

surely this device couldn't have been a mere commodity investment

Considering you can replace the entire cooking section of a restaurant with just that and it will work 24/7 you can cut store staff

Thing probably pays for itself after about a year

okay... but how does it handle toppings?

special orders

half/halfs

Its like a pizza cnc machine dude

light/extra sauce/cheese, etc

You input parameters and off it goes

It probably handles that stuff better than a human staff the same way cnc machines can be more accurate than any human mill

fuck that's horrific

You just have one person operate it and handle specials

A couple delivery drivers and youre good

Till the delivery system is replaced by drones

Tbf you almost wouldnt even need an operator half these websites and apps have a build your own pizza tool

You just have the tool input straight into the ckmputer and cut out the middle man

that middle man being fucking jobs

This was the logical conclusion of technology though

Menial/low skill jobs are easy to replace and with all the "living wage" whining it was inevitable

The robot doesnt even have to be perfect it just has to be better than a human

so just throw more people on to the street, great solution

technology's not at fault here, it'll keep moving whether we like it or not
