Cutting
thousands of retail jobs annually is an easy way for the most rich to
eliminate business components (people) that cannot have efficiency
increases. Increasing productivity yet not passing on the profit to
employees is a good way of helping the rich toward their goals of
converting mankind into complacent, emotive slaves. While computers
improve performance that of human workers remains basically the same
without much improvement even after centuries. Thus on-line retailers
that can eliminate retail employees are a logical evolution for the
money machine logic to gorge upon.
The delivery on packages from
on-line retailers appears to be the salvation of the long declining
post office that is regarded as snail-mail in comparison to e-mail.
Yet the Jeff Bezos may be a false savior of the postal service who
can support increasing hours and workers only until the robots take
over to deliver packages far more efficiently than humans. In fact
the U.S. postal service may itself be replaced by robots within
twenty years.
Though robots may increase
performance significantly in delivering packages from year to year,
large web stores sending packages may find competition for their own
fleets of robot door to door delivery metal from Uber-like
own-your-own-robots delivering packages for a fee from those smaller
sellers such as are found on e-bay that don’t have a fleet of
robots able to take that battery or fold-up bicycle from the postal
terminal to the door.
The dark side of the entire robot
army of delivery metal is that they may be equipped with a variety of
data scanning technology that can view anything in any home they
approach, from the outside and send that data through dark Internet
wireless channels to the most evil computer located in the Big Store.
It will even have rtf scanners to read whats on that card in a
wallet on a table while using infrared to scan the bodies of the
occupants in order to better customize marketing sales pitches.
