The thing is, how does it work then? Studies have shown that you have to buy a car for less than $12,500 and make it last more than 250,000 miles to make $20 an hour. People can't be making much money on this. If they are that desperate than fine, it's just sad that they feel the need to resort to this.
Insurance companies will have no choice but to sue Uber when the rider claims truthfully that they just pressed a button and got in and that's all they were asked to do. They can't even raise a premium on people that had no control over the vehicle. Money will have to come from the provider of the vehicle for every scrape, fender bender, and run over pet.
You can't count improvements in technology because we were in a phase where technology was new and thus subject to vast price changes. If you're going to go down that road, you might as well also mention that a modern washing machine probably costs no more than an old style drum clothes washer with the press to squeeze the water out of the clothes. All of this is ridiculous, because these things really make very little difference in the quality of living. A new invention doesn't mean people lived worse before, because they didn't know it at the time. I remember my life before I had a smartphone and it really wasn't that much different from my life now having a smartphone.
Average house price the same, with some being more expensive, not surprising. Eggs? who would have though it. I'm sure if you expanded that to an entire shopping list of goods there would be price increases to outweigh the difference of eggs.
Since I don't get a choice to buy a brand new car made the cheaper way for less money, and I didn't ask for the improvements in the car I buy, you can't really count that.
Maybe 'remove one server' should be a big green button, and 'remove many servers' should be a big red button. Then you could put a red dot or a green dot in the run book.
How so? Sure you can buy a sofa that costs only $100 but then it only lasts a year. And you're buying a new one. If you want one that is going to last you're paying more than ever before. Housing and food is more expensive and the price of vehicles has gone up since the 70's. How are people buying more?
He should absolutely pick people based on merit. What I am questioning is the fact that the most qualified individuals are all mostly white male billionaires. Plus he didn't pick on merit, he picked people with the most radical view towards that department. Trump may thrive on chaos, but presidents do not.
You mean muting the press, muting intelligence agencies that might not agree with him, getting the public confused about what is 'fake news' and not 'fake news' when everything he says is clearly the fakest news of all. Why is he the only one that can lie? Frankly this isn't helping Trump's 'Hitler' image any. The first thing a corrupt leader would do is mute the press and get as many people as possible listening only to him, and that does seem to be his objective.
Was it the Total Recall story where there were poor living on one side of the earth and the wealthy living on the other? That's kind of what it is coming to isn't it. If you aren't one of the elite, you can use the rest of your lifes savings to move to somewhere like India where things are cheaper. If you don't do something to afford living here where the quality of living is higher( and we have clean air) then go live somewhere else with a more depressed economy.
They sell their products to developing nations while living in a walled compound. They either send out security teams to buy local goods or ship them in from same countries. A drone will be able to carry goods from the hub to their compound by then.
Corporations competing to satisfy the shareholders and therefore send more retained profits to them has long overtaken the consumer demand for goods as any kind of pricing motivation. Companies are competing to give their shareholders better returns and this does not translate into the lowest price. I can guarantee to you that every corporation will unilaterally take savings due to automation to the bank while keeping out new entrants to their markets that may price things lower.

You need a new mac with touchstrip, I never seem to be able to hit the ESC key.
How much do I pay to get a billboard of Trojan Magnum condoms every time I pass?
When does the Tesla phase end?
Adjusting for inflation, those good always will come out the same. The price changes of those good is how they determine inflation.
It's not my fault or choice. I have to buy the car that is available for sale at my time. That's the point.

Lol good luck getting people to pay a penalty for something they didn't have any control over.

My eyes are bleeding!
The republicans did everything they could to resist Obama's policies. That wasn't Obama's fault.

No president in the history of the US has blocked the press like he is.
Millionaires will just build walls in that case. Drones can fly goods in and out of their compounds.

At least Hillary felt like she had to have some modesty in dealing with the 1%. Trump just goes and fills his cabinet with them.

Technology has been having this effect since the 70's. People do more with less, but they aren't getting paid more.
One person for every 1000 original human workers.
There will always be a developing nation with demand for their products. If most of the US is destitute, they move to another market.
