If it is cheaper to use a human they will use a human. Because liberals are making it far more expensive to use humans they are spending millions implementing new technology.
But somehow it is the fault of the guy offering jobs and not the fault of the government making them more expensive?

I reject your premise.
Anyone can learn a trade. Whether they are willing to is another issue.
I think a touch screen with fancy flashy lights has more of a chance to up sell than that any of their "highly" trained employees.
There will always be jobs for those who are needed. Be useful to the world around you.

did I miss it written somewhere that guarantees people a "living" wage? And who's definition of a living wage should we use? We have entry level jobs that pay ok, if you want more work at it, grow your skills (yes more work required to do this) and then get a better job. You understand where the term entry level came from and why we have these kind of jobs right? Because people who have minimal skills can still enter into the workforce and then hopefully learn and grow from there.

That's a convenient talking point is all. Not everyone can be a plumber.

You're looking at the right problem, but a better solution would be to outlaw corporate cash in politics completely. And then limit contributions (from real breathing registered voters only!) to an amount that's universally accessible, like $100

No, but nobody is useless... Those that CAN'T become skilled, either by learning a trade, or by any other means must have something wrong with them.
If it is truely NOT POSSIBLE for you to work.... Disability! Social Fucking Security.

Would staying stoned all day and trolling RIU be considered a trade? Perhaps "fair trade".

My wife is disabled but if she had the drive or we needed the money she could make money using a computer. My niece transcribes patient office visit reports for a series of doctors at home and makes damn good money sitting there in rollers and PJ's.
After the visit the doc will record the visit results verbally, diagnosis, treatment plan, prescriptions, etc. and my niece puts it into writing for the office files.

Seems to be what you do for a living.
No kidding If you can't learn a trade, something most definitely is wrong with you. But something can be wrong with you, and you can still learn a trade! Holy shit balls, really???!!!
Guy in town runs one of the most high class detail shops around. Not too many exotics around these parts, but if you were going to see one it would be in his shop getting shined up for the next days drive. He personally polished my 360 a couple times over the years. Runs a 3 man crew, and they are always busy, even when the snow hits.
He has down syndrome so his hurdle is set much higher than most, yet he clears it daily like a boss.
There are so many trades that most are mentally and physically capable of learning one.
I've come to the conclusion there are two types here. Those who have made their way/making their way though life, and those who want to bitch about why they suck so bad at life in the form of blaming everyone else for their own shortcomings.

I make low 6 figures so that's not true in my case. Some of us actually care about our fellow man. Weird right?

I'm pretty sure we here in the US have one of the worlds highest corporate tax rates. Maybe 3rd in the world or something like that. There's a lot of grief on here all the time about evil corps, and they are often to blame, but we already tax the living shit outta them. Haven't looked it up but Chad and some other country are the only ones who tax corps higher than us.
