[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4832266, member: 24302"] When I was in Europe saw the electronic menus at McDonald's that took payment and gave receipts. They're in McDonald's in the States now but not fully requiring usage like in Europe yet. But they have displaced workers. You're in denial. We're at the verge of a new paradigm and pushing for higher minimum wages is a major driver. If one fast food outlet can eliminate three or four jobs, if not more, how many multiplied by tens of thousands of outlets are out of a job? They're developing artificial intelligence that will even eliminate jobs like accountants. Having a degree is no guarantee of lifetime employment. Don't get too cocky. Best thing to do now is to go forward like it's eventually going to happen, invest your money and get out of debt. Because ten years from now if you've spent everything you've made you may be in a world of hurt. Or you can air this off and go have fun. Maybe it'll never happen. [/QUOTE]
