Many restaurants have begun to experiment with QR codes and order management systems such as Toast that allow diners to order food to their table from their phones instead of with human servers. Grocery stores have increased their investments in self-checkout kiosks that replace human cashiers, and more convenience stores including Circle K are experimenting with the computer vision technology pioneered by Amazon Go to allow customers to make purchases without standing in a checkout line at all.
The shifts mean that some of the 1.7m leisure and hospitality jobs and 270,000 retail jobs the US economy has lost since its February 2020 high are unlikely to return.
With these jobs, there was always some risk of automating but the push was not there,” said Casey Warman, a professor at Dalhousie University who specialises in labour economics. “Covid nudged those jobs.”

If this round of wealth distribution is only part of an overall shift towards the left by China we really may see the end of capitalism by the end of our lifetime
U RLY THINK CHINA IS ON A PATH TO SOCIALISM???
THEY'VE CEMENTED THEMSELVES UNDER DENGIST NEOLIBERAL POLICIES, THEY HAVE LANDLORDS, THE STATE WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR THERE AND CLASS WON'T DEFINTELY DISAPPEAR EITHER
THE RICHEST WITH PARTY TIES OWN EVERYTHING BIG, THERE IS POVERTY AND HOMELESSNESS THERE
TENCENT WILL STILL BE GETTING A HANDJOB FROM RYAN XI, NO MATTER WHAT RHETORIC THEY SAY AND WHATEVER PETULANT REFORM THEY THROW
Xi told top leaders from the ruling Chinese Communist Party on Tuesday that the government must establish a system to redistribute wealth in the interest of "social fairness," according to a summary of the speech published by Xinhua, the official state news agency. He said it was "necessary" to "reasonably regulate excessively high incomes, and encourage high-income people and enterprises to return more to society."
This isn't socialism, this is unironic Bernie-tier socdem policy, like are you f***ing serious?
The workers don't control s*** there, even Mao knew this and suppressed autonomous worker's movements with state power, made up of former revolutionaries who felt betrayed.
The CCP has a history of very bare reformism, if any, and repression of actual revolutionary action that threatens the state.
The Bejing Commune comes to mind.
"Yeah, socialism is when the government does wealth redistribution through increasing taxes and nationalization."

Dengoids will post memes like this then support the same s*** when it's under the red flag of China
god the fact that people like hasan piker are seen as the face of leftist politics is disgusting

China exporting productive forces to build infrastructure in capitalism up in developing countries instead of engaging in privatization and exploitation is marxist
Like Marx literally said to build up industry and infrastructure through capitalism in the third world to advance socialism
Well in the Global Northwest obviously
But is that really a surprise
not a surprise but still s***ty regardless
but then we know if he was actually espousing s*** dangerous to the status quo he wouldnt be big lol
@sniper what kind of leftist even are you
he's a dumb "libertarian" socialist aka someone who takes chomsky as the gospel
not a surprise but still s***ty regardless
but then we know if he was actually espousing s*** dangerous to the status quo he wouldnt be big lol
I disagree, I think he’s hitting a healthy number of narrative targets in the leftist sphere and is a great gateway into leftism which must be recognized
I think the US has just so effectively stamped out effective leftist organization that they think people like Hassan saying s*** can’t snowball into something material. And it usually doesn’t. He’s just a streamer
But it will eventually
