We can do all those things now. I do some of them, like make my own pizza. But I doubt I would do more of it if I had no where to work. Humans appear to need differentials. No matter how much of a good thing you get, you need some dark to set off the light.
Things you probably can't, and won't fully automate:
doctors nurses policemen firemen clergy
Not exhaustive of course, but just going through the list it was easiest to find government controlled jobs (at least in most countries) as the ones you can't automate.
I find that very disturbing.
Besides, what are we going to do? Sit around and play D&D all day eating machine made pizzas?
The statement was that it impacted minorities more, not that it did not impact white teenagers at all.
And the answer is that more affluent neighborhoods will better adsorb the cost of doing business because they can raise prices more than less affluent neighborhoods.
It is not "bent over" when you consider all the documentation.
Documenting it to get it approved and inspected was more than the labor to install. Getting it put on the roof to code was not something I could do, especially with the wind load requirements for this county.
And I was well aware that the cost of the installation was 60% of the cost. Some vendors is was as much as 80%.
Because the German Government hands out 130Billion to subsidize privately owned solar panels?
Germany once prided itself on being the “photovoltaic world champion”, doling out generous subsidies—totaling more than $130 billion, according to research from Germany’s Ruhr University—to citizens to invest in solar energy. But now the German government is vowing to cut the subsidies sooner than planned and to phase out support over the next five years. What went wrong?
Subsidizing green technology is affordable only if it is done in tiny, tokenistic amounts. Using the government’s generous subsidies, Germans installed 7.5 gigawatts of photovoltaic capacity last year, more than double what the government had deemed “acceptable.” It is estimated that this increase alone will lead to a $260 hike in the average consumer’s annual power bill.
So you are charging each other $260 per year to make solar cheaper for others. Seeing how the article is how Germany is phasing out the program, it would appear it does not work as intended.
But energy generation is only part of it. Local cost of electricity is part of the equation as well, and local cost from SMUD (Central California around Sacramento) is 19 cents per KwH at the first tier, not 48 like PG&E. It was only 13 cents at Tier 1 when we put it in 8 years ago, so long term it has been a good investment as costs for SMUD continue to go up.
(Power is general tiered in California, meaning the first 1000 KwH are at once price, and it goes up if you used more.
That makes it less economically viable since my base cost for electricity is so much lower.
Yellow Dog Democrats was a political term applied to voters in the Southern United States who voted solely for candidates who represented the Democratic Party. The term originated in the late 19th century. These voters would allegedly "vote for a yellow dog before they would vote for any Republican".
Not derogatory, unless you consider having a closed mind politically to be derogatory.
ANY report on communication with a foreign agent, i.e. minister, diplomat, government worker, is considered classified. Not like Keyhole, but still classified.
So if anything like "The Canadian Ambassador expressed his concern about the Keystone pipeline..." is born classified.
Secular government did not stop the killing, it just made it more efficient. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot... they ring a bell? What religions have done pales in comparison.
Clearly the Libertarians are the most intelligent party , they are smart enough to wear Tin Foil Hats to block the mind control rays from the UN-Constitutional traffic lights.

I don't understand how they are stolen.
It is like 3 ecosystems that suddenly lose 25% of their ability to support life. Say a drought kills off 25% of the food supply.
The one on the edge has a sudden deficit. Lots of animals die.
The one with a 15% surplus has some deaths, but not as many.
The abundent one has no deaths, because it was 30% under load anyway. Now it is 5%.
No animals were stolen, or food stolen, it is just that the resources needed for them to survive disappeared.
I am sure you can map those to poor, middle class and affluent neighborhoods and demand for money that just is not available.
We can do all those things now. I do some of them, like make my own pizza.
But I doubt I would do more of it if I had no where to work.

As much as I wish that were true, I work for IBM after all and I like working there.
It is not true. Maybe it will be in 50 years, but who knows?
Right now it is a really handy tool to help screen patients and make sure they see the right type of doctor.
You are right.
Nuking from orbit is the only way to be sure.
Things you probably can't, and won't fully automate:
doctors
nurses
policemen
firemen
clergy

And if your employer lays you off, sends your job overseas, automates your job, or closes their doors, how much are you spending locally?
Why stop at 15? why not 30? or 300?

Central California, but electricity from SMUD is at $.19, compared to $.45 or more for PG&E.
60% of the cost was offset by tax breaks, meaning I got more of my tax return back from both Fed and from California.
Don't need a day zero.
If you have physical access, you can install a root kit, keylogger, etc.
Any device that is not physically secure is at risk.
You kidding?
Tax breaks paid for 60% of my solar system. The only way it made economic sense.
Which they had already done once, then LOST THE PASSWORD.

At any rate, physical security is the most important part of security. If they have the device, they will eventually crack it.
It really comes down to your manager.
I have had several really good managers. I have had a couple of bad ones.
Bad ones are REALLY bad. Most don't last as their key people move out of the team and they are unable to deliver.
15 years ago I made around 40% of what I make now in IT.
I got a degree, came up with patent-able ideas, and made value for my company.
In return, I have been compensated.
Seems a fair deal.
IBM offers both options to customers. US based, or offshore. Some must use US because of regulation.
Guess which one our customers take when given the option?
So... Yellow Dog Democrat?
In case you are unfamiliar with the term:
Yellow Dog Democrats was a political term applied to voters in the Southern United States who voted solely for candidates who represented the Democratic Party. The term originated in the late 19th century. These voters would allegedly "vote for a yellow dog before they would vote for any Republican".

It is even more mundane than that.

So if anything like "The Canadian Ambassador expressed his concern about the Keystone pipeline..." is born classified.
Secular government did not stop the killing, it just made it more efficient.
Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot... they ring a bell?
What religions have done pales in comparison.
How will they save money?
Lay off the government workers and sell off the buildings they currently use?
Pull the other one, it has bells on.
What happens to the government workers that represent a portion of that 15 Million?
Laid off?
Probably not, so not the savings you would think from trying to get rid of the 15 Million overhead.
Or maybe they are smarter than you think and realize this would wipe LA off the map.
2/3rd of eligible voters in the US don't vote, thus nothing would pass.
Sounds perfect!
