ATLAS SHRUGGED, everything the looters did was based on “need”

At some point relatively soon, 90% of these jobs will be done by computers and robots.

People refuse to learn from history. This is a modern day cotton gin:



Labor became too expensive, hence automation took over.

The destruction of machinery by Europeans is another case. Sabots were found to be inferior and labor intensive, hence replaced and resentful workers would toss their "Sabots" (sabotage) into the machinery.

What are these fine "labor leaders" going to do today? Toss their Crocs into the broiler feed? Will they rally around Crocotage?

"What is the market value of a fast food worker?"

2.23 Big Macs per hour (Based on the National Average of $3.25 for a single Big Mac.)

“So many don’t realize that those types of success stories occur at McDonalds and other places all over.”

Like you I’ve seen it time and time again. I followed the corporate track and had a very nice career. However I look at my neighbors and most of them started from humble beginnings, worked hard, started businesses and have been very successful economically. It is unfortunate we teach victimization in schools instead of success.

I wish someone would ask Al Sharpton why the groceries in African American neighborhoods are owned by Koreans and the convenience stores are owned by Indians. Also, why present day black skinned African and Caribbean immigrants do quite well economically while American blacks seem trapped in a perpetual cycle of poverty?

Congratulations on your son. I made my daughter work as a youth and she developed a strong work ethic as well as appreciation for the value of a dollar. At age 28, many of her peers are still unemployed. She has a full time job and moonlights on weekends. She is tight as bark with her money.
