      Yeah I get it we all want a fluffy, soft wonderful place to live in, but if you’re working a job that basically requires zero training, you are replaceable by default, and a robot will be taking over in the future. In some cases they already have. The one I worked at they had two giant, robotic arms that built pallets of totes and wrapped them. Four years ago.

          Where I’m at I don’t even know what a livable wage is anymore. Hopefully enough people strike and that is what happens and they raise the pay.
