Semi-retired professor Carolyn Marvin became a local celebrity facing down Philadelphia’s growing robot delivery army: ‘It’s my first amendment right to protest’
Explain to me how continuing to exploit economically marginalized people with the current gig economy is better without abstract nonsense like “we’re crushing the human soul by using delivery robots.”
continuing to exploit economically marginalized people
Stop twisting my progressive language to suit your ends.
Removing jobs from these people without giving them anything else in return is economically marginalizing them.
Not to mention, I just think more people need to be brought face-to-face, through jobs or otherwise, and I genuinely think you’re a bad person if you don’t.
Why not? It’s a great idea. We need people to have any jobs, even terrible, exploitative jobs, and the jobs should be face to face. Back to manual construction! It’s clearly the better path forward.
Yes because there is no difference in degree at all. Benefitless gig work for the largest, most evil, and anti union companies is literally the exact same as every other job. That’s definitely how communism works. It’s making sure that we keep the worst possible jobs.
Jesus you’re naive. Find me an industry more predatory and exploitative than the delivery gig economy. There are a few, but not many. You virtue signal like a progressive but you’re here simping for one of the worst industry segments and pretending it’s progressive by tossing out random abstract bullshit about how robots are evil and people are struggling. Maybe consider the actual material consequences of your comically childish ideas for once.

And that’s why I’m proposing a ban on heavy machinery in the construction industry! We need to 👏get👏back👏to👏shovels👏. Preach!
Except I wouldn’t say that, which kinda just makes you look like a sore loser.

All jobs are exploitative, bumblefuck. You’re from anarchist.nexus, shouldn’t you be a commie?

Can you explain? How exactly is letting the largest, most evil, anti-union companies get the robots that they want of any injury to them?
You use this word ‘evil’, but I don’t think it means anything to you. I think it means you don’t want to be a delivery boy.
You know what? I’ll pick up a shovel. It’s good excercise.
