" I dutifully drove to the farm each morning, parked my car by the side of the road, and read a book all day"
So this individual figured he was only making $2 per hour, because he really didn't want to put any effort in to it.And this individuals response was to earn nothing and lie. Probably still living in mommy and daddy's basement!
I grew up in rural northern Wisconsin on a farm 10 miles from a town with 800 people. It had a Sears and Roebuck store. Well no goods just a catalog order center, along with 15+ actual stores on main street. Once a year the new Sears and Roebuck catalog came out and in the fall came the Sears and Roebuck Christmas catalog and that was the object of childhood dreams.
Sears another old company that is dying;) Some brick and mortar will survive in urban areas. But the real retail sales numbers will be online sales. Especially in rural America, online sales (Amazon) is the new Sears. Sears could have done it, but they did not see that vision of an online future. Like most entrenched old players. They got to comfortable. An upstart had to come in with a new vision.
If she is in bed and I leave the downstairs stairwell light on, on the other side of the house, she will get up and turn it off.
When I am downstairs in my office, I come up everything is dark. I have a routine, of feeling the walls and getting to bed like a blind individual. Not that my bad eyes are very good anymore.
Me, If I go to bed early, I turn her bedside lamp on and drop off to sleep.
OK, granted I have driven less than 3000 miles a year for a decade. Yes, I get the low mileage discount on my car insurance;) My 1999 Ford Expedition only gets 12 mpg, but my office is 2 miles away, tbh I work in my home office most days.
I love my expedition, even with 12"+ of new snow I can open my garage door and just go where I want to.
I do blow out the driveway if the wife needs to go to work;)
I know I am an old Neanderthal heck I don't want modern electronics (usb, nav, etc, etc) in my vehicle. It is going to be the first things to die/go obsolete. Also, just looked my Expedition and a Tesla are within 500 lbs of each other. I bet I will still be going when the Tesla is stuck and doa (until it gets towed and a recharge)
OK, I have rambled a bit. But here is my point, what is the lowest cost Tesla and will it still be in use 18 years from it's purchase date?
I could use an electric vehicle! I am the perfect individual! I can go a week working from home! I drive very little! Why would I buy a 50k - 60k vehicle with a short life span ( 3-5 years). When I can just go out and buy another used Expedition for 3-5k?
I mentioned earlier in a comment that I thought autonomous vehicles would be come mobile billboards for taggers. Going to be Interesting when!
I also think they will be magnets for those wanting to do vandalism.
they will soon fit right in with our urban areas, becoming disgusting to anyone who might think about using them..
You can not take urban vandalism and collapse out of the city.
misdirection by the FBI since they are having such a storm of failures and corrupt actions being disclosed. Hey don't look at that, look over here at the shiny object!;) Were the tip calls from citizens about the parkland shooter encrypted? Yet they still did nothing! They are so busy trying to take down the President, they are not even looking at doing their real jobs.
This all just an attempt to get the media and public to look a different direction! The top 40% of DOJ and FBI leadership need to be cleaned out completely. Then we rebuild from there
OK, it is a value of sale, sales tax so the company just passes it right through to the consumer. I am good with that. The EU(All Government) does like taxing things that move to death. And if it moves again you tax it more. When that industry is collapsing/dead the tax is at the right level.
So do you see the same for personal bankruptcy laws? Personalizing profits and socializing losses.
And yes, I am aware that certain personal debts can't be dealt with in bankruptcy. But there are losers in personal bankruptcy. When individuals walk away.
Bankruptcy is done according to the law. Throwing out the Trump part. The only thing wrong with having a company Bankruptcy on your financial record is, if you do not pick your self up and try to start a business again!
And no I don't have one on my record, and I have 2 businesses.
Yes I read about the burger flipper, But you will still need a few people to clean and do maintenance in each kitchen at least for a while. With the white collar SOE (Subject Matter Expert) jobs. Once the AI/Automation is ready, it will just sit someplace in the cloud and many of those elite jobs/employees will be gone. With a lot fewer real people needed handle the special cases and to do maintenance, etc.
If the dev AI/Automation is getting that good. Why are they not just doing a majority of the game development?
I always hear the horror stories about how bad AI and Automation will affect burger flippers, etc.
Seems to me the real jobs that will be affected are the white collar elites jobs. Bankers, Brokers, Developers, Judges, Lawyers, Programmers, etc. Imagine white collar professions minus the bias/corruption/prejudice because it is all just honest AI & Automation;)

others are not!! If their markets are not open to us why should we have a completely open market to them.
;)
So lets do this, our tariffs will be the exact same as yours!
You free trade with us, we free trade with you!
I have no problems with these tariffs

I'm surprised they didn't say "blockchain", yep! your right I did not look at it that way when I first read it ;)
What a hoot ;) lolololololol

It is not trust! It is forced compliance!
;)
Anything someone wants released to the world, just give that information to the government and it will rapidly be out for all to see.

upper management has a lot of really nice stuff!
OK, Valid point I did not know that! ;) If I had karma and could use it in a thread I posted in I would bump you up.
hired more technical people rather than lawyers they might be able to keep their network up.

when Facebook, Twitter, etc creates a new policy to deal with troublesome speech. The first thing that happens is the Right is taken out big time ;)
;)

Then there is the oops, and the just a coincidence responses and over time some are brought back.
What a bogus hoot

If that is true, what is the purpose? Why do we use it? Just my 2 cents ;)
