Appears empty for the photo shoot.
Other photos show it to be quite an active city - not surprising based on its close proximity (across the bay) to Hong Kong.
One of the greatest contributions the United States can make to the world is to promote freedom as the key to economic growth. A creative, competitive America is the answer to a changing world, not trade wars that would close doors, create greater barriers, and destroy millions of jobs. We should always remember: Protectionism is destructionism. America's jobs, America's growth, America's future depend on trade—trade that is free, open, and fair.
--Ronald Reagan, Address to Congress, January 25, 1988.
Interesting you are accusing me a of being Marxist when I am against the policy he favored and espoused. What kind of upside down head up your butt world do you live in?
Actions speak louder than words.
For the hundred thousandth time, Marx favored free trade because he believed it would hasten the social revolution between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. And I’ve seen you make the same argument dozens of times, comrade.
Ronald Reagan. A liar. You heard it here first on FR. Film at 11.
Look at GB, the first industrialized country, for an example of what Free trade begets.
This is the kind of stuff China (the red army), tycoons and socialists love.
Someone makes a boat load of money without labor costs and the government gets a dependent citizen population that can not even eat without government.
Total control of the citizen population IMO.
The robots work for the people and with no way to have all humans accessing the possibility to rise to something greater individually, they instead have to all learn to live poorly. Elite government class excluded of course.
Robo factories just go to show that labor is a tiny fraction of the total cost of production. I think labor it is less than 7% of the end retail price.
But if people are lying around without a way to earn income they become destitute and charity cases that get picked up by governments.
That situation is alarming but a robo factory still produces jobs. The factory still needs sustenance and maintenance. It is an financial asset to sustain a community albeit without line workers. It is better than no factory at all which what the Free Traitors (Free republic is full of 'em ) want to do with insane off shoring.
where in my post did I state anything about race? I am White Anglo Saxon Protestant male, whom owns guns, believes in God and understands that it is hardwork that built the USA. Educated in the North(Wisconsin - bachelors, and masters) and the South (Mississippi - masters). Like I stated where in my original post did I say anything about race. I did question the abilities of the current pResident, but that has to do with idealogy not his racial makeup. I question Trumps idealogy too (being that Trump believes running for president is like Reality TV - The Apprentice, 19 and Counting, Honey Boo Boo, America has Talent, Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants) which has nothing to do with his race too. Whomever has the highest ratings amongst the viewers is the winner!
My two closest co-workers are robots, comrade.
They are probably red Chinese robots.....
I like American Robots.
They’ve got unmanned cities, malls, etc. Brand new ghost towns. wow :~/
