No longer will they say, “He’s going to end up flipping burgers.” Because now, robots are taking even these ignobly esteemed jobs. Alpha machine from Momentum Machines cooks up a tasty burger with all the fixins. And it does it with such quality and efficiency it’ll produce “gourmet quality burgers at fast food prices.”

With a conveyor belt-type system the burgers are freshly ground, shaped and grilled to the customer’s liking. And only when the burger’s finished cooking does Alpha slice the tomatoes and pickles and place them on the burger as fresh as can be. Finally, the machine wraps the burger up for serving.

And while you fret over how many people you invited to the barbecue, Alpha churns out a painless 360 hamburgers per hour.

San Francisco-based Momentum Machines claim that using Alpha will save a restaurant enough money that it pays for itself in a year, and it enables the restaurant to spend about twice as much on ingredients as they normally would – so they can buy the gourmet stuff. Saving money with Alpha is pretty easy to imagine. You don’t even need cashiers or servers. Customers could just punch in their order, pay, and wait at a dispensing window.

It will depend on a variety of factors. If wages continue to decline and unemployment rises then yea I think revolution is inevitable. On the other hand the economy could hopefully recover and any ideas of revolution will be squashed simply beacuse the majority are satisfied.

Wages have not declined, they have stagnated, but they also have more purchasing power.  The people who are working, and it is approaching a post female work force revolution low as a percentage, are generally doing OK.  The notworkers are being bought off by politicians paying them to not work.  Do you think this guy is going to be joining any revolution?

The revolt is more likely to come from people paying this cunt's bills.
