Scharf eats up the false claims that Biden brought abought 19 million jobs so far. And the first thing that Biden did when he entered office was to cancel Trump0's Presidential order to lower taxes on job creators. That should have been a tax law but Trump was fighting a Democrat majority and couldn't get it even on the floor.

You can't even believe the layoffs on Facebook and Google and Amazon - the three largest employers left in northern California, and Scharf denies it. Do you suppose that he is running for office and thinks that if he pleases the power structure that they will let him in?

Maybe for McDonald’s and the like? But if I want a nice meal I think not!

Don’t get me wrong AI and computers in general will automate more things
but is a lot of hype at moment ie bullshit!

Seeing how poorly it manages to do images and text! Mind I’m always
surprised how unthinking folks are.

saw a clearly generated image of alexandria ocasio-cortez in a low cut
dress and so on, on socials year or so back, even if you don’t have the
IT/photography background like myself to spot it, as a general rule if
something is out of place or out of character and female politicians don’t
generally show flesh should make one think is this real?

You're never going to get a decent meal at McDonald's, or any of the
other fast food joints, anyway, with or without AI. I don't know if AI
coud make them any worse.

McDonald's has tried automating food preparation multiple times and it
has never been successful. When I was 16 I worked at McDonald's. There
is a lot more going on in a restaurant than food preparation. We had
11-15 employees working there at any one time. Only 5-6 were doing the
actual food preparation. When the manager discovered that I knew how to
make change and figure out sales tax (back then the registers didn't do
that for you) I was put at the front taking orders.

Where some fast-food (and non-fast food) restaurants are reducing
expenses is in the ordering and payment process. Some are no longer
accepting cash which is a significant savings, and they have ordering
kiosks in the restaurant as well as online ordering.

In my area, the fast food restaurants (and non-fast food restaurants)
all pay higher than minimum wage. With such low unemployment (thanks
Biden) these businesses can't be in a race to the bottom in terms of
wages (thanks Biden).

Minimum Wages
--------------
Federal: $7.25

Texas: $7.25
Florida: $12.00
California: $16.00

Austin: $15.00
Sunnyvale: $18.55
Cupertino: $17.75

In 'N Out in Sunnyvale starts at $21 per hour. They have had no problem
with raising prices to make those wages possible.

One business complained to me, when I was on the City Council, that he
could not hire enough workers because his franchise agreement prohibited
him from paying greater than minimum wage, and he was losing employees
to Sunnyvale which had a higher minimum wage. He eventually closed his
restaurant due to a worker shortage.

It is true that higher wages have made it impossible for some
restaurants to continue in business, but it's not because of minimum
wage, it's because of a shortage of workers. In Silicon Valley it's been
especially bad because so many large companies have their own large food
service operations and offer better wages and benefits, and require a
lot less night and weekend shifts. It requires a subscription, but the
New York Times had an article "How Tech Companies Disrupted Silicon
Valley’s Restaurant Scene."

I do like the coffee chains still not high end but good enough, McDonald’s
coffee is frankly not worth the money! I occasionally need to go with folks
at work it’s fairly dire food!

I always thought that coffee was McDonald's strung suit. I need good
coffee and some M&M peanuts for any long driving endeavor.

Unless it’s different in uk, absolutely not I can get better coffee from an
instant at a greasy spoon cafe let alone a coffee cake type of place.

I haven't stopped at a McDonald's for coffee or anything else for a
long time. It might have deteriorated

There is a basic problem with AI. You can discover the truth of anything said using an AI if the data is available so they will simply fill the Internet with false data - like the crap coming from Liebermann, Flunky, Krygowski and Slocomb. This completely disables an AI and it has no value after that,
