Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Look, we need to be demanding free education because there's no world in which McDonalds allows a union. You guys seen the price of a burger and the SIZE recently? The only way they're going to respond is by firing everyone and putting a rush on flippy.
For those who don't know who flippy is: https://misorobotics.com/flippy/
Some careers get automated, some jobs aren't worth keeping and this is absolutely one of them. Fast food work is going away and it's not coming back, just like the milkman or the newspaper delivery kid.
Good. Using machines to do the work we don't want to is how we started producing more food than we can eat and enabled us to focus more on what we enjoy.
I'm all for eliminating scarcity and automating the kind of work nobody thrives doing, but I also recall Keynes famously predicted that if productivity kept on growing the way it was, it would be possible for people to work a 15-hour work week and still maintain a modern standard of living.
Well, productivity did keep on growing, and the promise of future-leisure time because productivity gains made want a thing of the past... didn't pan out.
That's because we keep funneling as many resources as possible to as few people as possible in the vain hopes that we might one day join them.
The quality of life for the ruling class is inconceivable to those in the working class.
I mean, yeah, but the poors still believe the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink.
We also need a tax law to support the displaced workers. This seems like a very socialist idea but there's so much automation coming down the line that our current model will lead to a demand shock that destroys the economy.
