I hate this “costing people jobs”. It is a sign of our broken society.
If this gate suitably replaces someone standing there we should implement it, raise taxes .000001% and put that money towards welfare/UBI. I’d rather just give people money than forcing them to do a useless job. Of course our society doesn’t function nearly well enough for this to actually happen.
In this case the problem isn’t the lost job but that this gate is an inconvenience for every shopper. They are wasting my time because it saves them .000001%.
What seems to actually happen is that they implement this, raise taxes .000001% on the working class, and put that money towards more corporate welfare technology grants for the companies that implemented it.
