If you want to help make America great, which to me means, many things, including having everybody, regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, ability, and age, be able work and make a living, THEN the next time you are grocery shopping DO NOT use the self checkout. It is there to replace the jobs of actual workers. Those are great entry level jobs for teens and great jobs for many in your community. So don’t help people lose jobs. Go to an actual person to check out. Additionally that self-checkout device doesn’t pay taxes or help you in any way, other then letting you not talk to another human being.A person who may well be of a different race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, ability, ethnicity, and/or age than you.

Part 1 in a series on making America Great.
