McDs is the pilot, and home units are next. Swap some healthier items in there for free, and transition the poor eaters over. That is our only hope of getting people to eat nutritiously enought to prevent diabetes etc. The post office can stay in business delivering the rations and the metformin.lgmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-17020644510346699602016-12-02T12:24:00.409-08:002016-12-02T12:24:00.409-08:00The Post has an article, though not a lot of subst...The Post has an article, though not a lot of substance, on this in DC.<br />http://tinyurl.com/z2uetmk<br /> <i>D.C. government hasn’t studied the effect of the recent wage increases on small businesses.

The lack of self-awareness is staggering.<br /><br />I think as automation becomes bigger and technology becomes more ingrained in almost all job fields, the skillsets needed are going to change. I don't think there will be significant unemployment from this per se, but the nature of the work and what will be asked will be different, and if you can't adapt to the change you risk your well being. Being complacent in your career and demanding a "living wage" without significant contributions or flexibility is no longer going to cut it. I hope everyone can understand and adapt before the changes take place, but we'll see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
