In a nation - the USA, where 'being out in Public' can result in a drive-by shooting, a massacre, an act of terrorism. Even going to church can result in shaking hands with someone who is 'armed' but not in the Military.
Little wonder such 'business's' like Amazon are emerging.
The less 'social interaction' in the dangerous USA - the better. Because social interaction in the USA = confrontation.
The USA, especially via the Media (and its Celebrities) - really exists in a Death Star mentality. Just one big floating 'CITY' of technology heading towards being a Computer as well. But that's the USA Media for you - totally stuck in a lawn-bowl 'bias' of living in a Asia/African/European lifestyle ...from Namerica
Yep - the Yellow Asian 'city' with its token Black Man (Darth Vader). Even its 'Celebrity' President Ronald Reagan was obsessed with 'Star' Wars.
...no wonder the Media can't relate to North Americans anymore!
So basically, this Amazon - will eventually float away from North America. Because people in North America will soon realise the negative effects of not seeing people 'face to face'.
I prefer to wait in line to see a Bank Teller.
Being 'machined' as they say, by Automation - is an isolating existence for 'the poor'.
I try hard not to go to the 'self-service' at Supermarkets.
I always go to a check-out chick/guy, the ticket-booth person, etc. Sometimes the wait is worth it.
Socialising doesn't only exist in a 'Pub' or a 'Club'.
It's also part of the workplace, the waiting line, the counter.
You can tell the 'plebs' from the 'people' when you talk to someone who works in contact with the public.
In a rural town - you could easily spot the 'illegal' immigrants. They kept their heads down and didn't acknowledge you as you passed. Immigration picked 17 in just one month by this alone on the mainstreet. The 'legal' immigrants would acknowledge as best they could at least.
Thus we see also the 'change of scenery' where in the Old Worlds - 'advancement' was a 'mental' issue where knowledge was power.
But here in the New Worlds of 'tech-savvy' and mental complexity - people are losing touch with their 'physical' state of being.
So much so - that society in the New Worlds is very much a giant computerised Death Star of Science induced technology. Where people just sit and stare - mindfully dependent on the machine to do the work for them.
I work as a Labourer. I make $40 phr. Why?
Because everyone prefers to work 'white-collar', IT-orientated, mentally-complex jobs, etc.
Not enough of us guys going around.
I would rather 'work out' digging a trench or carrying plasterboards - than paying a gym to make me do similar for no constructive purpose.
The increase in all this IT, mental jobs - has shown a rise in
'mental stress'
in the population too.
Yep - all this 'mental technological dependency' has resulted in a mentally 'complex' situation.
I know about 'mental stress', I once did a job that paid so highly, because of its strain on the 'mind'.
Btw - here in Australia, it's not the
'Customer is always Right'
, like it is in the USA (Media).
It's the
'Worker is always right'
- hence why you gotta be in it to 'win it'
And no I don't leave tips in the glass bowls at Cafe's and Restaurants. 'Black' is not the colour of the Food Industry for starters you 'snooty boutique café-latte over-priced' bores who turn your noses up at my Bogan-flanny top that makes twice as much money as you, because this is the New Worlds!
