    Labor shortages and a growing preference for contactless delivery have accelerated demand for robots that can deliver food. But at the moment, they're better suited for college and corporate campuses than most city streets.pic.twitter.com/9STPkuB29p

        There isn't a labor shortage, there's a shortage of companies willing to pay fair wages.

        There are no labor shortages. Corporations and businesses just don't want to pay people to do jobs they can get a bot to do. People should refuse to accept robot deliveries. Demand a person.

        I would rather a human deliver my groceries, food, items, mail. I don't need to be in contact with those humans in order to get my deliveries.

        is it a labour shortage or is it a living wage shortage- how you frame stories is very important and right now you're doing a very bad job

        Pathetic that companies would rather use robots and all the inconvenience that will entail rather than pay their delivery drivers a not-shit wage 🤡

        Labor shortages amid a growing preference for a living wage and safe working conditions during a global pandemic have accelerated corporate greed to the point of getting rid of human employees altogether. There, I fixed it for you @AP

        Is there anything preventing me from riding it like a horse if I’m tried and don’t feel like walking?
