So, after they succeed in getting machines to do everything, how are the
unemployed people hanging around looking for work going to be able to afford to
buy all that stuff the machines turn out? Has anybody thought it through that
far yet?

Just thought I'd ask. Inquiring minds want to know. (^-^)))

CHICAGO (Reuters) - High-tech jobs may be moving overseas but one
low-tech job Americans could always fall back on was flipping burgers at
McDonald's.

That could change in the not-too-distant future. Later this year, a
Chicago-area McDonald's restaurant will fry up hamburgers with an
automated grill that dispenses patties directly onto the griddle from a
separate freezer compartment, reducing labor and promising fresher
sandwiches.
