  1. Believe me, almost every fortune 500 company operating inside the US is running on auto-pilot. Everybody that does the work for 'said' company is an outsourced 3rd party not even residing in the US. There's literally nobody working at DoorDash corporate office, Whirlpool, Samsung, etc. Literally nobody! You can call their office and that phone will ring and ring until the utility company shuts off the power.

  2. Wagies at restaurants lost my respect post-Covid. A bunch of incompetent and carefree buffoons that live on mommy and daddy's credit card and have the audacity to complain when they don't get tipped 25% for bare minimum service. There are VERY few places I will ever go for restaurant service anymore and most of the it's because there's a server on-duty that I respect.

  3. Well, that's what you get with (equal pay laws).

  4. 29 here, I lucked out with the wife, home, and kid before the economy went in the toilet. All my peers got left behind in the economy. It's crazy how much the world is changing.

  5. The American economy operates on autopilot bud. Nobody is looking at your resume; it's all done via a tech algorithm. Nobody is answer the phone; it's all done by 3rd party international companies of AI software. Nobody is even overseeing the logistical operation of most fortune 500 companies; it's all software algorithms generating and recording the data. Every time something breaks; everybody sighs and calls their sub-contractor to come and fix it. The amount of useless jobs is amazing in the current economy. Though, I think that most of this will be cleared up by the end of the decade. Covid lockdowns taught McDonalds that they can operate at (half staff) and still serve the same amount of customers for the same pay as well. Many corporations just don't have a managerial incentive to get rid of all these employees currently. It takes time to catch attention from executives. I've seen many economists already theorize that some 25% of current jobs will be automated by 2030.

  6. Take Price's Law into account as well. Square root of all employees perform 50% of the work; you can crunch it in any domain, it's scary!

  7. I was a package handler first, then a shunter operator, then a truck driver. But, I got out after a year because of the long hours. I made really good money though. Werner local jobs pay like $85,000 starting; literally.
