Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.

Someone has to do work to produce that food. Those people need to be compensated somehow. You can go ahead and make hyperbolic declarations about “rights”, but that doesn’t mean economics just disappears.

Yeah, those people doing the work to produce food are starving. What is your point?

You’re conflating human rights with a human need as if through sheer force of ideology you can make food magically poof into existence.
In the past, million of people starved because of this way of thinking.
Sorry, but producing food requires people to do work. When you try to make something that involves work into something purely about ideology, bad things happen.

There’s people working 60+ hours a week and also starving. Again, what is your point?
