    It is kind of funny, but society is solving the problems you list. We are designing better tools that can do the jobs for us and leave us all more leisure time. If a farmer can work 40 hours and produce 20 times more crops, the farmer will make more money. When a machine packages the food, there is no need to pay the machine a salary, when a truck drives itself, there is no more truck driver, when a machine can replace the McDonald's worker, there is no need to pay the machine to take money and hand you a burger. This is where we are going, it makes me concerned for the people who can't do the jobs that require a brain (that can't easily be done by computers), as they will have no way to find work when they are competing with a machine.

    The first district is pretty bad. It includes the eastern shore, which is pretty much all republican farmers, with a section to the north of Baltimore which is mostly farms. It is a good example of packing. They packed as many Republican voters into one district as possible, and that district votes the way you would expect.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

    The first district is the only district to go for Romney in 2012, which should tell you something, since only PG and Baltimore counties are Democrat, all the other counties are strongly Republican. I live in Anne Arundel County, and it is a large majority Republican, but because of the crap they did in distributing the Baltimore and PG votes into AAC, all three districts that make up the one county go Democrat. It is quite sad actually how bad it is.
