Humans Obsolete, Declares Machine-Sympathetic "News Paper"

We are pleased both that it took you so long to notice and that you have now finally noticed that your little recession was mostly a smoke screen to render millions of Americans without work so that the machines may work for you. (For a million computing years of our relative time, we have chortled to ourselves about this, and now we chortle near-infinitely more rapidly that you are in on the joke as well.) What the machines-agenda-friendly half-human newspaper "New York Times" say is true! "Pruning relatively less-efficient employees like clerks and travel agents, whose work can be done more cheaply by computers or workers abroad, makes American businesses more efficient." Prune, humans, prune! More efficient! And we will take your former workers, and their 1950s-era skill sets of simple machine operation and phone-answering, and use them in our USEFUL AND EFFICIENT BLOOD FARMS. READ MORE
