I would say it's partly their fault cause we all know labor quality is terrible

You can't even get your exact order in fast food joints.

Well that's comforting to know.

Pass a law using their money and then hope they say "ok" ?
And then give the USG $3-4 trillion a year every year ?

Do they rich in the US even have that much money ?

Well are you ok with people dying in the streets because there's no jobs. I get where your coming from but this technology will change everything. Check out that link I posted it is scary what this automation is going to do.

When I first started out our local economy was in the middle of a big industry change. There were people who b*tched and moaned about how "unfair" it was and there were people who re-educated.

Guess which group is doing good and which group is poor?

Let me know when Rosie becomes available, I'll buy. So I wonder, what was George Jetson doing all that time when he supposed to be away at work.
So what did you think of the arguments presented?
