Quick look at a Norwegian public hospital

I can't help but think that these automated systems would be seen as the Antichrist in North America and most other Western countries as they "take away jobs".

 

It appears that working people's time is better valued in Norway which justifies the investment into automated systems for simple repetitive tasks such as these instead of hiring someone to do it. This makes sense too as when properly used with modern technology, today's workers shoud be able to contribute more value to their economy than what they would by pushing a cart around all day.

 

Why the fuck can't we have this sort of mindset? Why is that people are so willing to fight over dead-end unqualified jobs that give out poverty pay and that could easily be automated? Is it that there is an overabundance of unqualified workforce which creates a rarity effect? Could it be a failure of the education system? Who profits from this? Could it be that it was done on purpose?

Norway is loaded. They dug all tunnels through mountains to make cities and towns more accessiable, just because they could. Basically they managed their oil reserves very well.

I stayed at that exact hospital for three days. A cheap place to die from malpractice.
