DeMotivators

Maybe because I don't interact with any of that on a daily bases. Maybe in those aspects where it is nothing but repetitive over and over again process it is better left up to a machine. I've done assembly line work before and wanted to kill myself after a couple months. Maybe it's due to the fact that those machines in retail could never actually replace a human due to the fact that they are never interacting with the same person which that alone brings in too many undefined variables for those machines to ever be capable or reacting to where to a person it is simple. Machines are designed to work within the boundaries of their programming, and that programming will always limit their capabilities on how to resolve the an undefined problem.

Good points.

That's why I liked Aldi's BITD. 1 dude/chick punching in all the products by hand...and going faster than you would think was humanly possible. And you bagged/boxed your own shit. So groceries were piss cheap & check-out was lightning fast.

Yes, Aldi's model is spectacular.

I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried... Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1960s:


1. Teaching Math In 1950s (when I was in school)

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?


2. Teaching Math In 1970s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?





3. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit ? Yes or No


4. Teaching Math In 1990s

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20 Your assignment: Underline the number 20.





5. Teaching Math In 2000s

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok).


6. Teaching Math In 2014

Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?



ANSWER: His profit was $375,000 because his logging business is just a front for his pot farm.

I own a BRZ too, don't worry, only about 25% of the owners are total dipshits.

I just got back from test driving one.

The de-motivating part is that they only had automatics on the lot.

The other de-motivating part is I didn't realize there was a sport mode switch until the test drive was over. FML.

At least now I know the button is there when I run across a dealership that has a standard on the lot.
