I guess you've never heard of vacuum tubes.
If these ingrates aren't willing to work for pennies, they can all hit the streets and the powers that be can have a cheeseburger prepared in Bangalore and whisked across the planet, through the vacuum tubes, and onto your plastic platter in a matter of seconds. You won't even know it happened, and Robo-Cashier isn't going to say a goddamn thing if he knows what's good for him.
This is a new world, people. A new time. A new hope.
