Re: Circuit City much worse than Walmart
[ QUOTE ]
Everyone gets a better-paying job working on the robots? It would be more efficient just keeping the employees at the store. [/ QUOTE ] I was obviously only joking with my "robots doing everything" scenario. I was just pointing out the extension of labor cost approaching zero. Prices would fall significantly and everyone would be better off. There will always be things that need doing.

Remember in this situation goods would cost very very little. You wouldn't *need* to make as much money to enjoy a fabulously lavish lifestyle.

I bet if you polled all those vetern workers 6 months ago, the majority would have said that 'unions were a good thing, but their time has passed, no need for them in today's world'. LOL [/ QUOTE ] WTF is a union going to do for people who are already fired?
