"corporate restructure aimed at increasing speed and efficiency would likely involve layoffs" = AI killing white collar. If job can be done remote, odds are it can be done by AI.
Yeah, dont want too many white collars, just a few of the highly obedient. Demote the rest to gray collar, and serf. Digital currency, then no currency, "We know whats best and will supply it just like God supplied the Israelites in the desert. Simply obey and comply."

I think you guys are out of touch. Have you been in a fast food resturaunt on the last 5 years? This generation is trash, and they don't deserve the jobs they have. Their pay rate doesn't make them good employees. If I was McDonald's and could figure out how to do it with less whiny snowflake idiots, I'd do it all day every day. This isn't technology eliminating good people, this is technology being used to eliminate idiots.

I understood where you were going with it, but that assumption is based on the idea that there is a direct correlation between tax rates and welfare programs. There isn't. In fact, there is no correlation between tax rates and increases or decreases in any government funded programs. They aren't afraid of the American people, so they spend whatever they want to, regardless of the revenue collected, and tax increases are based on strategic timing and what they think they can get away with, not spending.

As a person that’s in the tech industry I can assure you that most of society has extraordinarily unrealistic expectations in terms of AI’s potential in the world at this time. It’s nowhere near as capable as people think, it’s really helpful for certain administrative activities, but it’s not taking many people’s jobs any time soon. A lot of times the leveraging of AI in the enterprise space is to free up time for individual contributors to do more meaningful and productive things. For example, I ended up investing in AI for procurement to cleanse unstructured data and organize it for it to be digested into analytics tools for my team to understand where to focus their efforts for vendor and contract rationalization. Otherwise, I would have had to have several of my analysts spending hundreds of hours going through spreadsheets and organizing data before it can be analyzed.

I could not agree more. Now, I am no fan of McDonalds seeing as they are directly responsible for God knows how many thousands of deaths (due to coronary heart disease). However, why would any profit seeking venture want to hire today's fucked up youth? First, you have to cater to their every fucking whim. Today they might be female, tomorrow they could decide they are male. 99% are fucking liberal, snowflake pussies who are offended as often as you and I change socks. So the company has to coddle these adult babies to make sure NOTHING hurts their feelings. Or they will be boycotted to the brink of bankruptcy. Then to top it all off, they want to be paid $20/hr, work 30 hours a week, and be given a month off paid vacation. Not even the fucking French have it that good. I would be spending whatever it takes on robots just to be rid of these miserable human beings.
 
Are we pretending to be surprised here? If you worked for McDonald’s and thought for one second they cared about anything other than profits, you deserved to be unemployed. Same as Walmart, DG, etc, etc.

But then again I’m not a poor fat fuck that eats at McDonald’s.
 
I cant speak for anyone but myself but i do not and will not eat that disgusting shit they serve.
I wouil be more likely to thin out the stray cat population than walk through the doors of a McShits and get something to eat.
As for the corporate worms, they can get off their fatasses and possibly contribute something useful to society, not holding my breath on that one though.

I only go into the burger chains if I'm traveling, really have to shit, and theres no other viable option but my pants.. Otherwise I avoid them like the plague. I do eat at Subway.and havent found that. Last spring I drove from Virginia to rural southern Georgia and Alabama and stopped at several subways , and some convenience stores. Most of them were staffed by well dressed, polite, efficient, you black people. It was really nice to see.

As a retired senior project manager who was implementing AI based systems at a major American corporation, I can tell you it is happening and just accelerating. 35% white collar headcount reduction at the corporate office. I took severance and early retirement at the end of project. Many corporations queued up wanting to learn more on what we did. If you have people looking at spreadsheets you are doing it wrong. Spreadsheet work = AI. Repetitive work = AI.

Once corporate America stops their DEI hiring to boost their ESG scores - that is when the hammer really falls on white collar America.

All these workers bragging about working "remote" may as well get their resumes ready - hope they can get a job with government. Better yet, learn an honest trade like HVAC or plumbing - AI won't do those.

7 million newly employable non English speaking people have crossed the border in the last two years. I'd say that before the next election that number will be more than doubled. A couple of the factories around here have a bilingual liaison to deal with the language issue.
There will be few non skilled jobs for these pink haired, pierced, cross dressing freaks

You say that, but go ahead and open a fast food healthy food (whatever that means to you) restaurant and see how long you can watch the tumbleweeds roll by before you go broke. They aren't contributing to anything, they are selling people the food they want to eat.
But they are contributing. To the elimination of a lazy, obese, class of people.
 
Heathy food sells just fine. You just have to be somewhere people can afford it. McDonald’s caters to the poor. Workers and customers alike. Neither will ever become more than poor working or routinely eating that shit.
 
The only idiots that oppose this are the employees who are convinced they are stuck working at McD’s with nowhere else to go or the fucking unions.

And the only reason the unions are pissed is because that means less union dues.

Yeah, McDonald's is the reason people get heart disease.

People make choices, some good, some bad. You place blame on a corporation for selling their product to willing buyers? You're no better than the pink haired socialist taking orders.

Except they aren’t responsible for those deaths or obesity. The willing consumer is responsible.

This is a function of crap hiring and retention policies. We have a Whataburger and a Chic-Fil-A near the neighborhood, within a few 100 feet of each other. It is safe to say they are hiring from the same labor pool. Whataburger is a “Texas Treasure,” and a defining characteristic of a “real Texan” is the response to “Whataburger or In and Out?” I have been boycotting Whataburger for about a year because I just got “fed up” with the terrible service. The Chic-Fil-A on the other hand always has friendly, competent, and generally “put together” employees. Which brings me to In and Out. Their hiring and training practices are similar to Chic Fil A. Hire them, train them, pay above industry standard, hold the employees to a standard, and fire them if they can’t hack. Other fast food restaurants in the area are hiring on the “anything with a pulse” mentality and it shows. How do you expect an employee to excel when they see that 50% effort gets paid the same as 130%?

I just saw a snippet of a skit by Daniel Tosh who says that 10% of the labor pool doesn’t deserve jobs. It’s probably higher than this.

Ordering via a kiosk is less frustrating than ordering with an attendant- most of the time. It is 2023. An electronic menu is no longer wizardry requiring special training at the paper hat school. They may be a heavy investment up front, but they don’t take vacation, assault customers, or claim overtime pay.

Dude… go be rich somewhere else!

I like my occasional Whopper or QPC!!

Fast food places engineered their food to be tasty and comforting. So you go back.

But don’t say only the poors go there! I know for a fact that @TheGerman eats burgers, too.

I agree healthy food sells just fine although i believe some people may be genetically pre disposed to crisco based foods.
And eating healthy doesnt have to be expensive.
I eat a salad for lunch everyday with the topping i like which is the same topping i put on the greek yogurt i eat for breakfast every morning ( walnuts, pecans, almonds, pepitas, raisons and dried cranberries)
I know alot of people that would turn thier nose up to those options but its what i like and i eat quite a bit of fresh fruit and vegetables.
I grew up eating wild game as much or more than store bought meat and home grown veggies.
My diet allows me to splurge on things that would otherwise just pork others out since i love ice cream, chocolate and pies.
I had coworker tell not long ago " I hate you" when i mentioned im still the same wieght as when i graduated from high school 🤣🤣

McD closed corporate offices to fire corporate employees.
