Define "skilled labor" please. Manning a "PoS" or "Point of Sale System" has about as many variables, if not more than most corporate jobs. Further, you deal w large demographics of people and cashiers would have been fully automated if it was easy/unskilled, forever ago.

On the inverse, most corporate jobs are automated! To the point where 99/100 people push a button, they don't understand. They got a degree w a 2.4 communications GPA though so they must be skilled, right?

If the business with all these "unskilled" workers somehow turns an excellent profit then I don't consider them unskilled. I consider them rather efficient which is the essence of skill.

Have you been to a fast food place recently? Have you see those touch screen devices that takes your order, takes your form of currency and prints a receipt? You realize that’s replacing these PoS operators at a growing rate, right?

Name one chain that has fully automated unskilled workers?

Weren’t we supposed to like replace taxi drivers w tesla’s forever ago?

Maybe our arbitrary definition of unskilled was made by some pompous ass who looked down upon those without the highest echelon of education?

I know you didn’t just argue that working at a McDonald’s requires more skills than being an analyst or a business owner
