That and automated taxis are going to "unemploy" one great big slice of our economy with no replacement employment for them. It might be a great technological achievement but it is a looming social disaster. Time was, when employment in one sector dropped off, another one emerged to take up the surplus. As everything automates, this is not happening, this time.
just keep paying them.
that truth is that everyone who is put out of work by a machine could continue to collect their pay checks - if we decided to do it that way.
If something g like that doesn't happen, the 80-90% of the population left with nothing to do and nothing to eat will tear the whole edifice down. They don't realize it yet but the Capitalists are going to have to pay people to stay home if Capitalism is to survive.
Ummm, that's communism not capitalism...real capitalism has never even been tried.
But real communism is what you fakenews yorgies want...even though the commies always kill hundreds of million of their own so they can eat their lunches without doing the work.

Are you on the "placebo" side of the study?

Calling it “the end of a very, very sad tale,” provincial court Judge Sean Dunnigan on Wednesday accepted a joint recommendation to fine the Calgary owner of the trucking company involved in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash for transport violations.
“There’s clearly an issue about monitoring,” Dunnigan said, after Crown prosecutor Deanna Smyth detailed violations under federal and provincial transportation regulations in the three months leading up to the crash last April 6.
Smyth said following the crash, in which 16 people died and another 13 were injured when truck driver Jaskirat Singh Sidhu ran a stop sign on a rural Saskatchewan highway and collided with the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team bus, an investigation into Adesh Deol Trucking was launched.
She said the investigation determined there were multiple violations of regulations by Calgary owner Sukhmander Singh for failing to maintain proper driver logs, neglecting to ensure his drivers complied with safety regulations, having more than one daily logbook and not having or following a written safety program.
“There’s clearly an issue about monitoring,” Dunnigan said, after Smyth detailed Singh’s offences.

Defence lawyer Sadaf Raja entered guilty pleas on Singh’s behalf to four federal charges under the Motor Vehicle Transportation Safety Act and Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act.
Singh, 37, was not present and was not required to be in court.
Smyth said none of the offences related to the crash.
“These charges are not to do with that offence,” she told Dunnigan.
She and Raja presented a joint recommendation for a $5,000 fine, $1,000 for each breach, a proposal accepted by Dunnigan.
Smyth said the maximum fine for an individual under the federal legislation is $5,000 for each charge and $2,000 for the provincial offence.
Had the company been charged, fines could have been much higher, but Adesh Deol is no longer in business, the prosecutor said.
Raja told Dunnigan the case has been devastating to Singh, who came to Canada from his native India in 2012, and his family.
“The whole time Mr. Singh wanted to resolve the matter,” she said, explaining she had to wade through about 1,000 pages of disclosure before reaching a plea agreement.
Her client is now unemployed and can’t find work “as a result of the media attention.
“He has a mortgage, he is trying to find work.”
Outside court, Raja reiterated the fact Singh’s charges were not related to the tragic crash.
“These were administrative, regulatory type of charges, this wasn’t a criminal act,” she said.
“Although they seem like they’re tied . . . they’re not really directly tied.”
She said Singh remains remorseful for what occurred.
“We were all saddened by what took place . . . it’s hockey, it’s Canada, we all related to it in some way,” she said.
Sidhu, 30, was sentenced in a Saskatchewan court last week to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to 16 charges of dangerous driving causing death and 13 of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
