As somebody who actually has a lot of clients in the Agricultural sector, I find all these opinions rather amusing. Robots and automation haven't substantially improved automobile quality. Although the auto industry hasn't volunteered the information, I imagine that recalls are more frequent now. Why? Because there are so many ways in which the human mind and senses are superior to machines. Personally, I would not want to eat food picked by machines that cannot distinguish between ripe, green, spoiled, molded and contaminated food...nor do they possess the fine motor skills for harvesting WITHOUT destroying the plant itself which is pretty bad for berries, fruit and nut trees, etc. I would also not want to eat a burger prepared by a robot that cannot determine if the meat being cooked is spoiled or not, because the robot lacks a sense of smell.
As for the Cesar Chavez portrayal of farm workers as being poor and exploited, I am out in the fields with these workers and they have nicer cars than I do, work fewer months out of the year and can make between $20 and $25 an hour harvesting, pruning and cultivating crops. This is not uniformly the case, but it is what I have seen in all my clients.
The ONLY people that benefit from robotics are the multinationals who sell them and the robotic designers. Society at large is NOT improved by this activity and it will just shrink the tax revenues once again and put the money in the pockets of the uber-elite.
Just remember Mr. Right Wing dumb ass, you're on the same planet as everyone else. Even if it is another universe.
So, Trump (the Tangerine Buffooni bird) thinks that taking a political stance to end another political perspective is achieving clarity? We have not only elected a nitwit, but a blind one at that. Look at the political leaders who have eliminated perspectives that don't agree with theirs. They are called demagogues initially, but they become dictators. A dictator is someone that wants everybody to agree with everything that they say--whether there is any validity to it or not. Trump is a thin-skinned, humorless and petty man whose brain is AS SMALL AS HIS FINGERS.

The charges were dismissed. Don't know if the judge was fair or the gigantic crowd of people outside the courtroom convinced him
Studies that are coming out now are revealing that learning ability is not as impacted by age as "conventional" wisdom suggests. These same studies also show that older workers are MORE productive than younger workers as they tend to focus on the work. Even accounting for age-related costs increases in insurance, older workers are a good deal

I am laughing so hard at this comment that I can barely type
Sorry, but I have to disagree. Sex is very important to this woman and I have no idea what women that you are referring to...
People who have never had real passion in their sex lives.

Anti-semitic, not either of the previous two spellings...although anti-semantic was ironically appropriate.
