While true, saying that in Canada would probably get you arrested.

What I find amusing is that the stuff that is found “most offensive” by the social justicianators, simply proves that they are in accord with precisely the characteristics they condemn us for recognizing.

The Feds have belatedly recognized that most crime occurs precisely where the cops have been watching. It’s pure coincidence, I’m sure.

I should also add that all of us are in precisely the same boat; it won’t be long before all of our work is being done by robots. Just think about how much it would cost to replace a minimum-wage worker with a twenty-four hour machine that never needs to go on bathroom breaks.

Now advance the wage rate by the amount that has been proposed in various places, (including here in Maryland).

The robot replacement starts looking better every year. What happens when all of our work is done by robots? Will we sit idly by with folded hands?

I reiterate that each of us needs to find and burnish a skill that is appreciated by other humans, whether it is hair-braiding or guitar-picking.

When you can entertain your neighbors, they will give you things to do, and something for your efforts. Robots won’t care either way.

“What happens when all of our work is done by robots? “

The Economy stops dead.
There is no one around to buy the stuff the Robots are churning out.

Strangely,even the BMW Mini factory just up the road from here only uses Robots for the most boring or dangerous of jobs. The rest of the build is by hand. And to a very high standard it has to be said.

We have a Loop hole in law covering Humour.
It fell nicely within it.
