The reason government exists is because we have people that are selfish and we have people that are vulnerable.
Bingo. Yet Americans will happily complain about how they can't trust the government and how the government should stay out of their lives. This is exactly what the higher powers WANT.
The only way out for America is to WAKE UP and DEMAND that they government works for them. This will take a massive change to your system that the powerful people will always fight adamantly with all their resources and the average American keeps losing ground to it.
You sure about that? Forbes says wages haven't gone up, so companies can't be that desperate to find people. Many people have given up and exited the workplace. Trump is cancelling raises. Seeing alot of "help wanted" signs doesn't mean the economy is doing well, it means that companies are unable to provide a good enough compensation to make it worth a person's while to come back into the workplace. For example, why would a single income family choose to be double income if it is more expensive to pay for child care than the second job will provide?
I remind everyone that complains about the people who take and don't work...... This a far cheaper an easier way than having them come take your stuff.
So you're talking about changing the system... Which is the same thing that my words say that you have a problem with.
The problem with capitalism is that any changes you make to it are government regulation and no longer pure capitalism. What is holding Americans back is the insistence that they should not stray further away from pure capitalism.
Wow. Your president is surrounded with felons, the corporations are leading the government around by the nose and the only thing holding your society together are the laws and regulations that are quickly being eroded. Capitalism does NOT keep things in check. That's the problem. Wake up. I consider it pretty disgusting that you can make that comment with a straight face given today's political climate.
Let me add this. I don't believe with current sitting president anyone can argue that American politics is also failing, it just took longer. You're making the people who don't have health coverage sick with these dollar stores. What do you have left? Where does it stop?
I want to nip this one in the bud this time. Yes it was tried before, people got corrupt and it failed. I think the challenge of the human race is to develop a system that prevents people from becoming corrupt. It can't happen if we shut the conversation down with "it always fails".
This is your system. How many times have I heard that businesses deserve to profit no matter what? Gee a person has to travel for 30 minutes to get healthy food or they can walk out their front door and get junk, I wonder what's going to happen? Suck it up buttercup, or change the system that preys on people.
Not sure what you mean, the 'gig' economy is better than ever. My company has hired all contractors and there are so many looking for regular positions but none to go around.
Would you believe Forbes? In this climate, companies should have long raised wages. There should literally be no minimum wage jobs any longer in a plage with a "help wanted" sign in the window. Where should be NO H-1Bs except for skills that do no exist in America. Yet they still complain, they still continue to use H-1Bs.
What EV on the market today can haul a boxload of plywood or 4x4s over a muddy road? Almost every trip into town will likely be carrying heavy supplies. Just where I am, doing home renos, we need heavy loads from town. I can't imagine running a farm.

Like I always say, show me the evidence.

Thank you AC, I couldn't bring myself to type the whole thing out.
Yes yes, humans suck at driving, etc etc meat puppet blah blah.
Was the original study even adjusted for age? There will be less younger inexperienced drivers in a Tesla.
Personally I would have counted slamming into a concrete barrier as 1000 accidents, but that's just me.
Calling out radical flaws in a study that happened to say positive things about Tesla is considered "discrediting Tesla" now?
Also I don't believe they compared to other non-Autopilot cars in the same price range. They just compared to all other cars.
That sounds a lot like a mistake AI might make.
I read Slashdot at the time, and that was pretty much the consensus back then.

I'm really sorry but just one more thing: I found it humorous that CNBC says "Trump will raise wages"; and you're right I think it's total bullshit.
Maybe what I'm trying to say is, these people commit crimes because no one wants them.

I meant post-secondary education, whether it be a trade school, journeyman, college, whatever.
Supply and demand should have ALREADY raised the rates.
And no, delivery is not an option. That costs $50 per on a short run.
