Reply to comment by the68thdimension in A McDonald’s location has opened in White Settlement, TX, that is almost entirely automated. Since it opened in December 2022, public opinion is mixed. Many are excited but many others are concerned about the impact this could have on millions of low-wage service workers. by Callitaloss

I was just getting into the part where you're factually incorrect.

>I never said the jobs were replaced 1:1, nor that the same people working at McDonalds would get those jobs.

Then what was the point of the comment?

Because it’s worthwhile to point out the nuance of the situation: it’s not that these jobs are lost and that’s it, but rather these jobs are lost but some others are opened up elsewhere.

It’s still a net negative loss of number of jobs, yes, but it’s not as bad as it’s made out by some.
