MoDonalds replacing people with computers.

Remember that Mickey D's provided 62,000 of the jobs reported last month in the "jobs created" catagory?  Well, that was then, this is now.


The fast-food restaurant, known for its golden arches, Big Mac burgers and Happy Meals, will replace cashiers with touch-screen terminals and swipe cards at its 7,000 chain restaurants in Europe, according to the Financial Times. That would mean, in part, the end of cash payments." Also picture no more millions of job applicants for something, anything at the Golden Arches. And like that another several million of America's lower class are about to become outsourced to robots.
