As that level is reduced the need for managers is lowered, as that level drops, the level above is reduced. And so on.

The owners of Wendys see no one as safe from being replaced by a machine, except themselves. They also see no location in theWest as safe from being moved top the Third World if it makes them more profit. The only thing they don't want to do is pay enough taxes to support the country they're intent on making poorer.

A lot here complain about the US infrastructure. Solving that problem is simple.



These collect data on lorries travelling on Czech Motorways and a charge is sent to the owner of the vehicle monthly. Do the same with cars and lorries in the US and use the money to repair and build roads.

As tens of millions are replaced by machines, pay more taxes to keep the unemployed from revolting. Also the taxes the unemployed use to pay, has gone. So pay more taxes to replace what they use to contribute.

We have that here too. On Highway A25, an automated system snaps photos of license plates as they cross the bridge between Montreal and Laval. The cost is a whopping $7.00 per 1-way trip. Drivers who install the bridge transponder on to the windshields of their cars pay about $3.50 a trip. (EV's are free. Suck it ICE'ers. Ahem... )

It's also probably the most pristine roadway in the Montreal area. Totally smooth driving experience. Any roadwork is done immediately or late-night.

But yes, we'll all be replaced by robots or agents one day. Our only hope is to upload our brains to Facebook.
