I remember watching the garbage men when I was a kid. There was three of them. One driving the truck, two on the back of the truck. The truck would drive along, each guy on the back would jump off and run along the street grabbing cans.
Now there is one man. The driver. The truck as an arm. The driver pulls up alongside the can, lowers the arm, grabs the can. Job is done. Fast, efficient, less expensive.
I do not subscribe to the idea that we need to stymie innovation and efficiency so that we can give people low-end jobs. I subscribe to the idea that we need to train our people better, so they can do better, using their brains.
As much as people drive me crazy, they are not idiots. We can become a better society when we stop expecting so little from our people and start pushing them to reach their full potential.
