21. Those JOBS are GONE forever.

Apr 2014

Between outsourcing, robotics, and corporate efficiencies those JOBS are GONE forever.

There is no new industry. The latest battle is for McJob wages.

We are in a shift akin to the industrial revolution there is no "going back to normal".

Millions of truck drivers are next as we go with remotely piloted trucks.

Some people don't get it. We are really in a technological revolution that is changing the world.
