.......and Dems still think he's the best thing since sliced bread....epic fail.
Unbelievable... Here's a print story about this...
Quote:
Obama, in an interview with NBC "Today" host Anne Curry said that the reason unemployment remained high despite corporate profits was that businesses had become more efficient, pointing to things like ATMs and airport ticket kiosks as culprits.
"There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don't go to a bank teller, or you go to the airport and you're using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate," Obama said.
Both ATMs and ticket kiosks existed long before the recession and typically exist in conjunction with bank tellers and ticket agents.
If Palin or Bachmann had said something so utterly stupid, the MSM (and certain of our members) would be all over it. It would be the lead story for a week to provide evidence that the right-wing candidates are a bunch of slack-jawed morons, when, in fact, it's the other way around (and, on the left, it's not just the candidates, it's pretty much every single one of them...)

That is so true, like the pied piper the wacko left would follow him to the end of the pier and jump in and drown.. "Wouldn't that be a dream come true?"

Thats because this Idiot in Chief has never walked the walk, and as a result of zero experience in anything except rabble rouseing and voting present, he has to delegated nearly everything to academics in his administration. What a piece of work. Another Weiner who would stumble over himself in the real world. Just goes to prove that you could sell a bridge in Manhatan to half the voters in this country.
Well, let's face it, industrial revolutions did create less of a need for employees through automation.
What's debatable here, is how many jobs have actually been lost to the technology here? My guess is, not many. What you get is more customers moving through with basically the same staff they started with. I haven't seen a change in staffing levels at the Twin Cities airports as I've flown in or out.
I guess the credit union I do business with may have had to fire a few people when they made the one location only drive-thru only. Then again, they planned ahead and had the inside tellers working the drive-thru at the same time for several months though. They probably just moved people to another location as they expanded creating more jobs.
Yeah, I don't think a real claim to any appreciable job loss has occured. A minor amount, sure, but nothing major. If anything, jobs got lost due to less people using the services provided in some areas. The price of a downturned economy.

You have completely missed the point. The idiot in chief blames ATM's and airport kiosks that have been around since about 1980, but... they've been here since the 1980's. They have NOTHING to do with the current jobless rates. NOTHING AT ALL. ATM's are not a "structural issue" in the current economy. And, it should be noted that PEOPLE still have to make the ATM's, and service the ATM's...
Maybe this is why Obama appointed that azz-clown who says we need to "de-develop" the US economy. If we could only get back to the days of horses and buggies, we'd have full employment.

Ever think about how many people have been employed due to ATM machines? Someone has to service them, restock them, install them, someone has to process the transactions and now with criminals someone has to do the building repairs when dumb Azzes smash and grab ATM’s. I doubt that the Bozo in charge has truly investigated the results of job losses vs. jobs gained. The Bozo in charge is trying to get the blame of him, plain and simple. That’s the liberal way!
I just wonder how much money the ATM makers get now. I'm just thinking about all of the new ATMs that have to be purchased by the local banks and credit unions to combat ID fraud.
My credit union recently replaced every single ATM they have so that small devices would be easily seen if they were placed on the card reader. The new card reader slots also are not flat like they used to be. They are a high density opaque plastic that glows one of a few chosen colors depending on the bulb in the ATM itself. Some are blue, green, or orange that I've seen.
I would guess that advances in theft technology has been a boon to the ATM industry.
Obama blames ATM's (what a bozo)
