Technology, you job killer you

Efficiency is killing jobs.


President Obama at a town hall meeting at Wyffels Hybrids Inc. seed company, in Atkinson, Illinois:
OBAMA: One of the challenges in terms of rebuilding our economy is – businesses have gotten so efficient, that, uh, when was the last time somebody went to a bank teller? Instead of using an ATM. Or, used a travel agent instead of going online. A lot of jobs out that that used to require people now have become automated.

So true. Automation is killing us. That's why farmers must give up their tractors and combines and go back to the oxen and plow. Bring in the harvest workers!

The internet? Oh, how did we ever survive these last three to four decades of emailing and internet? Then, in 2008, Obama took office and it wasn't his stimulus package that hurt jobs, it wasn't him shutting down oil and gas exploration off the Louisiana coast, it wasn't the increase company cost of ObamaCare, the bailing out of the union pensions, or even printing all that money while borrowing more.

No. It was simply the fact the cost of the Internet had finally come home.

It's destroying us. We have no choice. Time to unplug it. All of it. The internet, the iPad, the iPhone, all the emailing that is bankrupting the US Postal Service. Goodbye Apple. So long Facebook. Your employees will simply have to find other work. I hear our farmers might need some extra hands.

And since Obama is known for being addicted to his blackberry, I have a job creating solution to replace it for him.



Finally, the man has some job creation ideas. Grab the horses, ya'll. Cars need to go, too.
