Hypthetical situation:
Wal-mart, in order to lower costs some more and to prevent a larger worker base from eventually unionizing, decides to replace all personnel with androids. The androids are almost as good as humans when it comes to helping people, and much better when it comes to hard labor.
Advantage: No more paying people wages < $15 an hour. No more "crappy" jobs.
Disadvantage: Almost all of the unskilled laborers will be fired. That is almost 1 million jobs. "Crappy" jobs as opebo would put it.
The decision comes in front of you. What do you decide? There is no option to unionize because it is will kill Walmart. I'm mostly interest in (D) replies here, especially from those that hate Wal-mart.
