Luddites of the world UNITE!
Just yesterday I was thinking about all of the entry level jobs that have disappeared since I was a boy. Other than those of you who live in states which ban self-pumped gas stations, has anyone had their gas pumped, oil & tire pressure checked & windshield washed lately?
Those evil Caterpillar and Mack dump truck companies have taken all the jobs of those who used to move dirt in wheel barrows or with large baskets carried on their heads.
Yellow Cab totally obliterated the rickshaw pullers in the USA!
Supermarkets doomed the milkman.
Radio and the printing press sent all of the town criers to the poorhouse.
Elevators made unemployed destitutes of all those folks who used to sit on their stools on every 10th floor stair landing of high rise buildings, ready to give CPR & oxygen to exhausted climbers! /s
Oh, the Huge Manatee!
My wife is working on a paper at the moment and our multifunction printer just kicked out a page.
Computerized printers in every office & home!
Typists, scribes, fountain pen repairmen! Gone, vanished, DOOMED!
Speaking of fountain pens, what about quill pens? If you tried to carry a “pen” knife is many locations you would be arrested as a a weapons carrying homicidal maniac. PETA or the USDA or the EPA or OSHA have probably banned snatching high quality quill feathers from non-free-range geese, to boot!
You forgot travel agents and telephone operators.
