Comment on Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like.

  How did you determine this? Also why are you assuming a job is in itself a good thing instead of what the job does being a good thing?

    Because the same farmer was plowing the same field.

    And a job is better than no job in the Western world if you want to eat and have a roof over your head.

      Omg seriously? Do you have any freaken idea how developing world farming works? This is freaken sad. Ok fine. In the real world it wasn’t a farmer it was a farming family. Children as young as 3 would work the land. Being able to use an animal to plow unleashed abundant food and freed up multiple members of the family.

      Yes having a job is better than not but that doesn’t mean you are entailed to a make work job because you refuse to use your brains.

        When Amazon fires all of the delivery people for to save money, what are all of those delivery people supposed to do to buy things so that they can survive? People seem to think ‘just get another job’ is a viable answer to thousands of people out of work.

  That seems extremely unlikely to me.
